I can't think why not. Back when I rooted phones I always used a Mac.
Looking at this recipe on XDA I can't see anything Windows-specific (though the author uses Windows). The only software it needs is Fastboot, which is actually easier on a Mac than Windows (you can just download a fastboot executable, no need to install a whole set of SDK tools, and you don't need to faff installing USB drivers). The rest does not depend on what OS you are using, other than that you'd use a MacOS terminal rather than a Windows command line.
