Um, yes, it _is_ an option with OS X. In fact, it was even an option
with OS 9. If you have a two-button mouse connected to your Mac,
right-clicking will bring up a contextual menu just like it does in
Windows. Now, if you're using a Mac laptop or have a single-button
mouse, as the other poster pointed out, control-clicking (clicking while
pressing the control key) is the substitute.

There are excellent multibutton mice that work well with Macinotsh
computers. Apple has the mighty mouse [now wireless http://www.apple.com/mightymouse/
] and it has right click functionality as well.
