In general. Java 5 or Java 6 was preinstalled on Mac OS X up to 10.6, but this ceased in 10.7.
Besides, a recent Mac OSX update uninstalls the version of Java 6 plugin previously supported by Apple. Apple have never supported Java 7.

You (or your users) need to download and install Java 7 for the Mac from Oracle. But @Andrew Thompson’s comment (see above) offers a good way to smooth that “speed bump”.
