Programming an ATtiny84

I am designing a mobile device around an Attiny84 microcontroller and when I have looked up ways of programming it and making it run, I found that I would need a JTAG progammer. Could the Attiny84 be programmed by USB with something else like a 6 pin header? What other ways can the Attiny84 be programmed?

P.S. No arduino and I am using snow leopard on my mac

The ATTiny84 can be programmed over SPI. See section 19.5 (page 163) of the datasheet for details.

To do this, you will need an AVR programmer (not a JTAG programmer; that's something quite different). One inexpensive option is the USBtinyISP.
