Yes, I have. Some of the tools did not run on the OSX's X Window, but they worked fine on Linux's Xfree86. I removed it from the system (G4 PowerBook 1.67 GHz, then 512 MB, 80 GB) because setting needed for the system made the system feel luggish, even when not running Oracle (I have upgraded the memory to 1 GB so it might run better now). But for hints: some of the tools do not run on the OS X X Window, so either do not use them, or use Linux's XFree86 or try some other X Window for Mac.
