Mac OS won't screw around with where the WoW folders are. When you install the client, it goes in /Applications/World of Warcraft. The Addons folder is /Applications/World of Warcraft/Interface/Addons
The simplest way to deal, on a Mac is to open a Finder window, and navigate in that window to /Applications/World of Warcraft/Interface then drag the Addons folder to the "places" menu on the left side of the window. This creates an alias to the Addons folder. Now when you download addons, they go normally into you Downloads folder (which is fine). I created a folder 'addons for wow' (without the quotes) in my Downloads folder. Then when I have downloaded addons to handle, I drag them to the addons for wow folder, then open that folder. Double click on the archive, and it opens, creating a new folder in your addons for wow folder. You may need to open this folder (if so it will typically have a version number in its name) to get at the actual (in this case multiple) addons folder(s), but once you have them, just drag them all to the Addons alias in your places menu. You may get a "there's already a folder of that name, do you want to replace it" message; just say yes. And you're done.
