They don't charge more for Mac ports of PC games, but it does seem to be a trend that the prices stay the same long after the PC versions are available at bargain prices. Even worse is the fact that most Mac ports show up significantly later than the original PC release.
I haven't used the Mac platform for gaming in years because of this.
If Valve offers dual licensing for their games to promote Steam for Mac, like I said; great. It benefits me since I already own most of their games on PC Steam. I'm just not expecting free ports and anyone who thinks Steam for Mac means you'll get all your games for PC on Mac for nothing may be setting themselves up for disappointment.
Valve could do this for their own IPs, but I don't see all other publishers throwing in free Mac versions of their games to PC customers unless they really feel like doing Apple a big favor for nothing (if they don't receive anything for porting games to Mac OS from PC customers) to help them sell the Mac as a gaming platform to current PC users.
