Yes, it is possible but alot less unlikely.
Most virus writers program viruses for windows (because 75% of computer users use 2000, XP, or Vista). So you are alot less likely to get a virus on a mac.
But they do make antivirus software for macs, you just have to look hard enough.

The reason is that Mac's don't suffer from the same Virusand Trojan Problem that PC's do.
There are Virus Softwares available for Mac.
Here is one that is used.
