There is no specific problem with stuffing the file on a Mac.

However, why stuff it at all? If you keep it as an EXE, then the user can run the file directly from your website, making the installer run immediately and saving the user the unstuffing step. Simply include instructions for the user to choose "Open" (or "Run") when they click on the EXE download link.
