The port shape isn't important; a cable can be made to fit. What's important is that the monitor's vertical refresh rate is 15hz or a multisync monitor that can run at either 15hz or 30hz(like newer VGA monitors-30hz). Atari ST and Amiga monitors will work, so if the Mac monitor refreshes at 15hz a cable can be made/possibly bought (try BEST Electronics) to work with the Jaguar. If you have a Catbox, that makes it easier as it has a monitor port on it like the one your describing and it may work directly or by crossing a few pin wires...

I'm about to hack together a cable to use my Jaguar with my Atari ST SC monitor I got recently with my 1040STf. It's only like a eleven or twelve inch screen (pretty small), but the clarity of the RGB is incredible with the ST and should look fantastic with the Jag attached to it!
