Apparently I had an older client, despite downloading it after wallet encryption was announced. I downloaded the new one, and it saw my wallet.dat just fine, and encrypted it just fine.
Thanks guys.

Delete Bitcoin from your applications and dock/desktop, if it's on one of them. Then go to the Bitcoin website, download the newest version for Mac, install, drag to applications, and open it. It should work now. When I tried the first time and left the application in the "applications" folder, it wouldn't update.
I'll try to find settings, but I coundn't find it when I tried.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Settings -> Encrypt Wallet...
Then I don't know how to enable it.
I haven't tested it, but the latest OSX binary listed on http://bitcoin.org is version 0.4.0, which should support wallet encryption.
Can someone please update the Mac client to include native wallet.dat encryption? I'm hanging in limbo here, and I don't have the skillset to do it.
