Interacting with an AVR Microcontroller on a Mac

I have recently purchased the ATiny84 microcontroller and I was wondering if I could upload code to it from my Macbook Pro that runs snowleopard. Specifically, could I run c files and FreeRTOS?

As H2CO3 suggest you can use avr-gcc and avrdude but I hope you're familiar with C/copiling/setting up path variables in osx.

If you're only getting started with embedded programming I recommend having a look at the Arduino project. It's very easy to get started. Also, for your particular chip(ATiny 84) have a look at this guide from MIT:
