In the IANA charset registory, there is the following one:
Name: macintosh [RFC1345,KXS2]
MIBenum: 2027
Source: The Unicode Standard ver1.0, ISBN 0-201-56788-1, Oct 1991
Alias: mac
Alias: csMacintosh
cf. http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets
The validator does recognize this charset name, though, I won't
recommend to use this charset if you care for interoperability
across various platforms.

I suppose it is very unlikely.
