It would appear that OS X is finally coming through in their support for
RTL text. Not only is there this message in Thinksecret:

Will Jaguar include support for Hebrew and Arabic?

Yes! In the latest pre-release builds of Jaguar, the Keyboard menu
includes a
variety of new languages, including Hebrew and Arabic. Right-to-left
typing
support is there, at last, and those languages are also a part of the
Language
tab in the International section of System Preferences.

There is also a screen shot of the language selection, as well:
