Check out http://versionsapp.com/ for an SVN client

For git, check out the answers to: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/455698/best-visual-client-for-git-on-mac-os-x

A: 

If you're looking for a GUI client you have GitX for git but if you're looking for the actual vcs i think most of the major ones have a git port.

We use SVN (mac client) at work from all different platforms. Git (mac client) or Mercurial (mac client) would work as well. Personally, I wouldn't pay for something like this unless you're using an IDE that has integrated SCM as part of it's paid offering. This is an area where the free/open source solutions have actually been preferable to paid solutions for many years. If you don't feel comfortable supporting it (maintaining the repository, backups, etc.), you might want to look at a hosting service for the repository.

Mercurial works really well on a Mac

Currently Xcode has CVS and Subversion integrated into it, and I wouldn't recommend CVS. Maybe a future version of Xcode will support more version control systems.

Yep! Xcode 4 (currently in private beta) is known to support Git :-)
