I'm not sure why you're looking at going anonymous, are the users external, non-employee, not on Active Directory users? If not, then don't go anonymous.

SharePoint 2010 treats Mac users as 2nd class citizens, it's a decent experience, but won't compare to IE on Windows. Custom designs can improve the Mac usability to a certain extent. Some functionality, datasheet view for example, requires IE to install ActiveX controls. Check out my blog post for some more details on browser support: http://davidlozzi.com/2012/04/17/sharepoint-browser-support-all-latest-browsers-supported-really/. Though targeted to browsers on Windows, I'd bet you'll see the same on Mac.

SharePoint 2013 makes great efforts towards playing nice with Mac (and other browsers). Maybe you should upgrade :-p.
