macstumbler is a program for OS X that does just this as well. This is pretty much the only option for wardriving on OS X, the airport card can't be controlled through applescript like it can in OS 9.
NoCatAuth is a project that attempts to address the security concerns of running subscription based wireless services. AFAIK though, it's designed so that you must build linux boxes to act as access points, it would take some hacking to get it to work with existing access points (most of which can be administered through snmp).
There is a port of linux to the Apple Airport Base Station as well. However, it requires the use of a dhcp & tftp server, as well as the Java-based Airport admin tools.
Makes you wonder what the real reason was behind Microsoft's settlement....could part of the terms have been to disclose "unknown" security holes to the FBI for use with their Magic Lantern spyware?
Conspiracy theory is fun:) Big brother is watching....

Spymac has lots of screenshots of Jaguar from the WWDC here. Guess NDAs don't bother some people ;)
