Thanks to BOINC@Australia for this heads up.
Many of these projects are still in development.
All are unchecked for mac availability.
1/
Resource Measurement
http://winerror.cs.berkeley.edu/resourcemeasurement/
What idle resources are available on your computer while you are working? At the Recovery-Oriented Computing Group at U.C. Berkeley, researchers are collecting statistics to measure resource availability. Join Resource Measurement to send us measurements from your machine!

Crash Collection Project (Site down)
http://winerror.cs.berkeley.edu/crashcollection/
3/
BURP
http://burp.boinc.dk/
BURP aims to develop a publicly distributed system for rendering 3D animations.
Currently this is a pre-alpha project which means that you cannot yet upload your own animation for rendering. Periodically we are doing testanimations - sometimes you will not be able to contact the schedulers.
4/
PrimeGrid
http://www.primegrid.com/
PrimeGrid is currently under development, as is PerlBOINC. PrimeGrid is a project for factoring the number in the RSA Factoring Challenge, and also to test PerlBOINC.

SIMAP - Similarity Matrix of Proteins
http://boinc.bio.wzw.tum.de/boincsimap/
What is SIMAP?
SIMAP is a database of protein similarities. It contains about all currently published protein sequences and is continuously updated. Protein similarities are computed using the FASTA algorithm which provides optimal speed and sensitivity. SIMAP is to our knowledge the only project that combines comprehensive coverage with respect to all known proteins and incremental update capabilities.
6/
the Lattice project
http://lattice.umiacs.umd.edu/boinc_public/
A broad spectrum of life science research will benefit greatly from increased access to high performance computing resources. Several properties of modern life sciences research drive the need for high performance computing:
7/
μFluids project
http://www.ufluids.net/
μFluids project is a massively distributed computer simulation of two-phase fluid behavior in microgravity and microfluidics problems. Our goal is to design better satellite propellant management devices and address two-phase flow in microchannel and MEMS devices. Voluntary collaboration of individual computer users, like you, can participate by donating idle computer time using the BOINC software.
8/
DIMES (Distributed Internet MEasurements & Simulations)(Non-BOINC but needs BOINC users)
http://www.netdimes.org/
DIMES is a distributed scientific research project, aimed to study the structure and topology of the Internet, with the help of a volunteer community (similar in spirit to projects such as SETI@Home).
