If MacOS X is derived from FreeBSD, as I believe it is, this is "normal"
in
the sense that FreeBSD does not follow typical Unix/Linux conventions for
large file support because it is always turned on.
Kern,
From my understanding as illustrated by Amit Singh's Mac OS X Internals [2],
Mac OS X does inherit some of Free BSD 5 but I don't have my copy of Singh's
book handy and in front of me to confirm this (but if memory serves me
right, its not a simple cut-and-dry derivation because Mac OS X also has
part of its ancestry based on NeXTSTEP and OpenSTEP which itself was based
on good ol' BSD.

You can check if a particular client has large file support despite what the
configure output says by doing a:
status client=xxx
in the console. If you get a line such as:
Sizeof: off_t=8 size_t=4 debug=0 trace=0
in the output, you have large file support. If it says:
Sizeof: off_t=4 size_t=4 debug=0 trace=0
you do not have large file support.
