I find xxdiff to be one of the best visual diffs out there. It
supposedly runs on MacOS X, but I can't seem to get the fink package
to work.  We use it at work with Perforce and it works really well.  I
know of people who use it with ClearCase as well in place of CC's diff
output (though xxdiff is just a diff visualizer, and it is often
configured to use cleardiff under the covers).
