I have no idea how good / bad they are, but a quick Google search for
"convert xml to csv mac" does turn up these two suggestions:
http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Utilities/XSlicer.shtml
http://xmltocsv.codeplex.com/
(among others), or using an online service such as
http://www.luxonsoftware.com/



Do you have an example of the XML text and the CSV output you want? As
long as an individual XML line doesn't overwhelm a FileMaker field, it
should technically be possible to write a converter in FileMaker by
importing the XML as plain text.

There is also a new version of Mac Office due at some stage.
