Is SDL a good way to get Hardware YUV surface on Mac OS X ?

To some degree, it seems a bit problematic getting a hardware surface under linux with SDL. Like I think I recall reading that this might require re-building SDL on my target machine to enhance my chances of getting a true Hardware surface under Linux. So naturally, I'm curious what to expect when I start using SDL on a Mac OS X machine.
