If you run the client, you will have the option to save the report as XML, html
and html prettified with graphs and charts. On the command-line, using the -T 
switch allows you to specify which type of report to save to. From the nessus 
manpage [1]:

-T <type>, --output-type="type>"
   Save the data as <type>, where <type> can be "nbe",
   "html",  "html_graph",  "text",  "xml",  "old-xml",
   "tex" or "nsr"

I fancy the OSX client should have the same switches. That way the nessus 
report actually looks pretty good.
