Short version:
Sprint does not have Wireless Connection Manager software for the Mac, and even if they did, you would not want to use a Sprint Q as a modem without paying Sprint for the Phone-As-Modem option, or they would shut your service down. PDAnet is a way around this but again, no Mac version.

Quick question if you use pdanet and have a unlimited data plan will you not get charged for using your phone as a modem?

That is correct. Sprint will not charge you extra for using PDAnet. From their side it appears that you are using just another app on the Q that happens to access data, albeit a LOT of data, just like streaming video to an Orb player would.
