Apple has been very slow (unusually) at supporting its usual range of 
languages for Mac OSX.

My advice is check the Apple knowledge base to see what locales are 
supported and which are planned for the next release.

If all you need is to use Greek fonts and a keyboard at a bare minimum 
, this should be easy to do. All you need is some Greek fonts and a 
Greek keyboard.

You may have problems trying to integrate this with the Microsoft Suite 
of Apps. I installed a Turkish font (I think Apple must have something 
against the Aegean ;)  ) in this way since there was no X Turkish 
locale supported, and had some problems handling dates in Excel as I 
remember.

Scandinavia is rather well supported at the moment I think. Finnish has 
been  there for a while now.
