the tilde key "~"
and it also works for windows. Actually, as far as i know, the console is the same for both windows and macs. The console is a part of the game, not the computer

The keyboard's character varies depending. For example on an American Keyboard it is:"~", but for the UK it is: "¬".

Usually it's the key just under Esc.

or use the catch22 version: type /bind <key> toggleconsole in your console :)
Easiest to manually edit your q3config.cfg to get a key that suits you though.

On a side question, is there any way to scroll down to the bottom of the console?
If you accidently scroll upwards and play for 10 mins you have to do loads of scrolling.

when something changed in the q3 sources (added unicode support?) the console mapping on the keyboard actually got assigned to a character instead of a specified key, like it was in the old q3, so it's no longer accessible on some layout (eg: the italian one).

this is not a problem, anyway, just open /Users/youruser/Library/Application Support/OpenArena/baseoa/q3config.cfg with TextEdit and search for "toggleconsole", then change the key assigned to it.
for example with
Code:
bind c "toggleconsole"
the console will appear when the "a" key is pressed.
