This SO question: Using Caps Lock as Esc in Mac OS X has some suggestions, which they characterize as a choice between "a complicated, half-baked solution or installing a third-party piece of hackery."

It is not possible (unless there are big changes in mac version): vim uses outdated byte queue instead of keypress queue and CapsLock is not represented by any byte sequence.

// It is still possible to configure your system so that CapsLock will produce something that can be captured by vim.
