Is there a mapper or terraformer mod or app for SC4 on 64 bit macOS?

The ones I've found here for Mac are obsolete or disappeared.

There never were to my knowledge any Mac specific apps for maps. Both Mapper and Terraformer are your only options really. So the question really is how do I run those Windows apps on my Mac? I suspect in the past the use of WINE was the best solution, but that’s not been updated to support 64-bit only MacOS. So you are basically left with a VM as the most viable option. Oracle’s Virtual Box is free and easy. It runs Windows as an application from your Mac. Parallels is a paid option, there are many apps for running Windows within MacOS if you are willing to pay.

Bootcamp or using a Windows machine to process the map generation are also viable solutions.

Do you like custom textures, but don't like all the work involved creating them?, take a look at the Texture Automation options here. Change the look and feel of your transit networks, with the minimum of effort, for example customised versions of my Sidewalk NAM (SWN) and Terrain Grass NAM (TGN) mods, and much more besides.
