It looks like you are comparing 32-bit SSE2 version vs. the 64-bit version.  For a better comparison on the Mac, use arch -i386 ./john which runs the SSE2 version of the binary.  For example,

arch -i386 ./john -test -format:raw-md5
Benchmarking: Raw MD5 SSE2 [raw-md5 SSE2 16x4]... DONE
Raw:	12216K c/s real, 12094K c/s virtual


./john -test -format:raw-md5
Benchmarking: Raw MD5 [gen]... Using raw-md5 mode, by linking to md5_gen(0) functions DONE
Raw:	16936K c/s real, 16936K c/s virtual
