Baldurs Gate enhanced is so bugged I would not even consider it.
Your better off playing the old original version under a Wineskin wrapper.
Got a tip for us?

I picked up Torchlight 2 but I can only play it on Windows 
I've been playing Deus Ex: Human Revolution for occasional leveling up.
Borderlands 2 is good for casual play to. You can go in, play a few missions, do some looting and it runs great on cMBP.
Diablo 3 might be difficult without paying to win but at least it's the best dungeon crawler you can play on OSX without BootCamp.

I'd consider it the BEST RPG of ALL TIME, not for its fighting mechanics (OK, but nothing to get super excited about), but the story, atmosphere, party interactions (romance options galore) was just awesome. It's also one of the few RPGs (other than Diablo II) that I actually went back and played through again (in fact, I played it like 4 times through with different characters plus a lot of re-loads to see all the different ending possibilities).

How is Torchlight 2? The first one was good for what it was, but got a little stale after a while. Is the second one much better?
I know it's been a long time since you asked this, but I just stumbled upon it and saw no answer. The answer is YES.
TES:I Arena and TES:II Daggerfall are both DOS games, and as such, can be played flawlessly using the incredible "Boxer" app. It is a Mac frontend for DOSBox.
Better yet, you can legally download both Arena and Daggerfall directly from Bethesda in all their pixelated glory. Enjoy!
I bought it thinking they would actually have a Mac version like they promised (see if I ever buy a game from Runic Games ever again). But anyway, I've played it on my older Windows machine. It seemed interesting at first, but then an update made it buggy as hell (kept crashing every 5-10 minutes and destroying my progress and from what I saw on the Net, I wasn't the only one having a problem. This was over 9 months after the initial release (which was more stable), but Steam automatically updates and so if the update is buggy, too damn bad. You're screwed. I have no idea if they've fixed it. I gave up on it. The first one played fine on my Mac. It wasn't Diablo2, but it was still fun.
Diablo III and Torch light will be perfect.
I would also say Dragon age if you want to add in a great story.
Sorry, I found some good ports months ago, and I bootcamped my Mac in August. Thanks though!

No prob, so did I! I jumped into the Skyrim Modding scene after getting every achievement on my XBox 360, with two play-throughs, when the true weight of Bethesda's desertion of the game really sank in. Fallout 3 and NV get almost a dozen DLC's between the two of them, and Skyrim gets 2.25 DLC's.
Playing Skyrim on 2012 MBP in Win7 (bootcamped), using XBox 360 wired controller, connected to my TV with HDMI. In-Bleeping-Credible graphics, and endless variety due to the huge modding base out there. Loving it!
I'm pretty happy. I was just browsing through files on my server and found my old NWN2 saves. I'm going to be installing that later on.
I really enjoy a session of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup every now and then:
