Silverlight is a browser-plugin. There are versions available for both Windows and Mac OS (see teh system requirements listed here). Your end-user will be directed to download the plugin for their specific OS if they do not have it installed. Once installed your application will run in exactly the same way on Mac and Windows.
For Linux there is Moonlight, which gives Silverlight plugin support, but I don’t know how mature this is yet.
