How would I go about being able to use OHR's Game on an IMac. Can I do it without changing anything to the computer itself? Is there a basic program I can use? Or perhaps I just haven't been paying attention and there is already support for it?

There is no Mac version of the OHR because there is no Mac version of the FreeBasic compiler. The FreeBasic devs have been talking about gcc backend that would allow FreeBasic to be compiled anywhere that C can be compiled (which would be practically everywhere) but I don't think they are actively working on it.

TMC has done some work on our own Basic->C conversion, but I don't know how far along with it he is.

Another possibility is Sorlok Reaves' 'OHRFMF'. Although he is designing it with mobile phones in mind, it is written in Java, so there is no reason it won't run on other computers too.

Your best options at this point are to dual boot using Boot Camp if you have an Intel Mac, or some sort of "virtual pc" software to run a Windows installation from inside OSX

I haven't done anything on it in a couple months.

FBC has a Darwin target, I wonder how experimental it is? It might be possible to compile for Intel Macs.
