You should have heard about this by now... but just in case, here's a randomly selected link to info about a trojan targetting Mac users: Mac trojan in the wild - Boing Boing.
It's a social hack rather than a system hack - ie. OSX isn't really to blame, it's the user. But the interesting point is that it exists at all. Mac security is heavily influenced by the "not a big enough target to bother" category.
That may be changing. This is just one instance, but it's a sign that not all attackers think Macs aren't worth the trouble. Could it be the increased market share? Or maybe the attackers just really hate Macs ;)
