What graphics card do you have in for OS X? If you only have the base card in, you can use the built-in power ports in the Mac Pro to take care of power for that card.
There are two Molex receptors on the motherboard just behind the fan assembly at the back of the PCIe slot opening.
You'll need the appropriate cabling, but they're there.
