Yes, but you need to press PAUSE to get into KDB. It looks like the
keyboard of a MacBook has no PAUSE key. Maybe an external USB keyboard
helps. (The internal keyboard of Macs is also connected via USB contrary
to most PC laptops where it's still PS/2. So USB support in KDB is
mandatory for a MacBook.)
