When OSX can't pick a GFX driver (or you forced safe mode) it usually falls back to a generic VESA driver, along with a software OpenGL implementation (hence why GUI effects still work but some apps such as Pixelmator crash), which I suppose is not entirely unlike LLVMpipe. With a non-crap CPU it's even quite usable.
