Could anyone tell me of similar software for re-sampling and sharpening for
Mac OSX.

Thanks

Definitely.

My system consists of PC with W2k, PS7, Epson 1270 with Ultratone 
CIS.  

I only use a fraction of Qimage can do and I do most of the image 
manipulation in PS7 but use QI to optimise the print quality and 
autosharpen.

I have uploaded a couple of scan of PS7 printing and QImage printing 
for you to see real world scans.  In addition to being an excellent 
piece of software Mike Chaney updates this like nothing on earth and 
all for the one registration.  You can see the images at 
http://www.littleblueplanet.co.uk/not-QIsharpened.jpg and 
http://www.littleblueplanet.co.uk/QI-sharpened.jpg

and readmore about Qimage at 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/qimage/messages 

Not very user friendly admittedly but bl**dy good at what it does.

i would like to see that, as well

also, is Q Image good for anything else but sharpening, and if so, what?
