We are actively working on it. It is currently in Internal Dogfood stage and we will be opening it for Mac insider ring in Jan/Feb timeframe. As for public release it is still few months away. We will add this on our Public roadmap in new year.
If you have a customer blocking usage of Groups because of MAC, we would like to engage early and may be bring them into early adopter if they are willing. Let us know. Thanks.

    Starting today, Office 365 Groups in Outlook for Mac will be rolling out gradually to Insider Fast over the new few days! With the first update, you can view your top 10 groups in the folder pane and read/compose/reply to group conversations. We are continually adding new capabilities, and you will see them in future updates.

     

    We’ve also created a group where people can ask questions and share feedback on the early bits of Groups on Mac Outlook. Please little r me with your email address if you want to join the group.

      I would love to get this rolled out to my Mac users asap. I dont think we are part of the Insider Fast Track group.  I do have early access on our Office 365 account. How do I get this added?

        To join Insider Fast program, open any Office 2016 for Mac application, such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, or Outlook. On the Help menu, select Check for Updates. Select the check box to Join the Office Insider program, and then choose Insider Fast from the menu.

        Just to reemphasize, we're rolling this out to Insider Fast and not at 100% yet. Hope to get there on the coming days. So some will start seeing this feature enabled in their app while others won't even though they have the same builds.
