Is there a program that can be used on Mac that is comprable to MS Project, that would allow us to export from our existing PM software into this MS-Project-like program, which would then allow us to Import into Clarizen? We need to import existing projects/ tasks/ templates/ etc.

What platform are you using right now? Can you export to Excel? You can import projects into Clarizen from Excel using a tool called the Data Loader: http://www.clarizen.com/appsmarketplace/item/Data-Loader.html
The company uses a program called ViewPath. My goal is to get everything (or as much as I can- existing projects, templates, etc) Out of viewpath and into Clarizen. In theory I would be able to export from viewpath into MS Project and then import from MS Project into Clarizen...unfortunately I'm working with Mac. So, Im' looking for another solution, one that would allow me to get the data out of the existing PM software, and into the new one.
Okay, so I see 2 options:
1.) Export from ViewPath to Excel, and use the Data Loader to upload the projects into Clarizen.
2.) Save the ViewPath projects as .MSP files and email those files to someone on a PC that can save those as an XML files that Clarizen can read using Microsoft Project (there is a 60 day free trial of MSP for those that do not already have it installed).
