No, it works just fine and you don't have to do anything different for 
Mac than you do for Windows. This is all you need:

on mouseUp tBtn
  if tBtn = 3 then
    -- do right click stuff
  else
   do left-click stuff
  end if
end mouseUp

This also works with mousedown. You do not need to test the OS or do 
anything else. If a Mac user has a 3-button mouse, right-clicking will 
trigger this the same as Windows does. If they have only a one-button 
mouse, the OS will send the "3" parameter when they control-click. You 
don't need a controlKey handler or any other special treatment.
