I've looked around for the ability to turn off supernode on Linux and Mac clients for a while but have come up empty. Do you know which section of the preferences/settings it's supposed to be in?

I don't think there's a UI element for it, but you have to add a registry key, see here:

How pray-tell, does a Windows registry entry disable super node functionality on Linux and/or MacOSX?
Well barring effective virtualization, booting into Windows disables supernode functionality on Windows and MacOSX in the same sense that a brownout does
