I installed version 2.0 using the recommended mac installer (http://www.kyngchaos.com/software/qgis), and the installation went fine, but there is no option to add an oracle spatial layer (not in the layer dropdown, or the sidebar buttons). I assume this has to do with gdal configuration, but I'm not sure how to fix that. I have the oracle instant client installed, and I can connect to oracle with sqlplus. Has anyone been able to get the new support for oracle to work on a Mac?

Ok, well, the distributor of the binary for mac osx, replied again, and basically said that one would need to compile QGIS manually. Here are the instructions he posted:
You'll have to compile QGIS yourself...
You need OCI Basic (or Basic Lite) and OCI SDK.
unzip the sdk
unzip basic
rename the clntsh dylib to remove the numbers at the end (should end with .dylib). you can ignore the occi dylib since it's not used. copy libclntsh and libnnz11 to /usr/local/lib
update clntsh with: install_name_tool -id /usr/local/lib/libclntsh.dylib -change /ade/b/2649109290/oracle/ldap/lib/libnnz11.dylib /usr/local/lib/libnnz11.dylib /usr/local/lib/libclntsh.dylib
add to QGIS cmake configure before the last ".." (make sure to fill in correct path to your OCI sdk):
-D WITH_ORACLE=true -D OCI_LIBRARY=/usr/local/lib/libclntsh.dylib \ -D OCI_INCLUDE_DIR=/path/to/unzipped/oci/sdk/include \
