I realise this a bit simplistic, but Mac is basically Linux with a
thin layer on top. Following a linux guide + google will probably get
you 7/8 of the way

Sorry friend, but mac is not "basically Linux with a thin layer" as
you say..., Mac OS X is an independent operating system based in UNIX,
that's not like Linux, is very very different in all. Is true that
basic commands lines is similar to linux commands, and some directory
structure, but OS can't be used as Linux.

By other side, I have search for an Linux tutorial for prepare Lazarus
to compile Android and I can't find it.

Thanks.

Hum, Linux  is based on UNIX too...

Mac OS X is a true Unix implementation, but it also inherits API
functions and GUI elements from classical Mac OS. Linux is a unixoid
operating system that isn't based on traditional Unix sourcecode, but
that is designed to be very similar and partly compatible to Unix.

Of course, the relation between Mac OS X and Linux is much closer than
that of both operating systems to Windows. But there are differences
that sometimes break compatibility, especially for GUI-based
applications. After all, the layer on top isn't that thin.

Mac OS X is FreeBSD + OS X proprietary layer.
There should be little to no difference in a matter of compiling
Android application from any supported platform. One would need: SDK +
NDK + arm-android cross compiler, assembler and linker and respective
units. The wiki article "Android" should explain everything in
platform independent way.
