I am chiming in a little late here, but...
Try out Todochiku, which is a notifications package I wrote for emacs:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ToDoChiKu
It works with appt (and thus with org mode) and it is compatible across
different notification programs (and OS). It has a customization option
todochiku-appts that will set up a growl notifier as your appt-display-function.
Enjoy.

Thanks for this, this'll prove handy at work. I took the liberty of
simplifying the elisp a little. This version doesn't create a temporary
file, and instead uses a shell HEREDOC.
(defun output-to-growl (msg)
(shell-command (format "osascript <<ENDSCRIPT
tell application \"GrowlHelperApp\"
notify with name \"Emacs Notification\" title \"Emacs alert\" \
description «data utxt%s» as Unicode text \
application name \"Emacs\"
end tell
ENDSCRIPT" (osd-text-to-utf-16-hex msg))))
(defun osd-text-to-utf-16-hex (text)
(let* ((utext (encode-coding-string text 'utf-16))
(ltext (string-to-list utext)))
(apply #'concat
(mapcar (lambda (x) (format "%02x" x)) ltext))))
R.
