It works great. It is a little tricky to setup, but once done it is rock solid.
First you need to obtain the SAP GUI Client for Java Environments. I am using version 7.10 Rev4. You can get this from Service Marketplace on the SAP site. You must have an SAP account in order to download. See www.sap.com for full details.
Once you have the .JAR file, you can run it via Finder, and it installs. Answer the default questions, and the installation should complete rather quickly.
Now that it is installed, you can run it. If you are in an environment with quite a few of these clients installed, lucky you, ask your administrator for the config files.
If you are the first one, you can setup your connections to SAP systems manually rather quickly, and then save those profiles in the client. Once the client is open, click new. Give the connection a description. From there, click on the advanced tab. There you can manually specify a particular server to connect to. The string should look like this.
conn=/H/server.domain.tld/S/3202&fast=true
I use port 3202. Substitute the port that you use in place of 3202 in the above string. Your system number determines the port for most folks.
Click Save, and you should be done.

Just adding some, if your SAP setting using logon balancing
your ~/Library/Preferences/SAP/connection file can be set like this:
{Description_name}:conn=/M/{IPaddr_of_message_server}/S/{port_number_of_msg_svr_use}/G/{name_of_the_group}&clnt={client_number}&user={your_userid}&fast=true
You can edit that file using nano or vi ... but in effect after restarting SAPGUI ...
