I am in a similar situation. I have a NETGEAR FVS318v3 VPN gateway at home that I would like to securely connect to and my understanding is that the built-in Mac OS X VPN features will not work with it. Objective: To show how to configure a Client to Box VPN policy between the NETGEAR VPN Client Lite/Professional and the remote device. VPN client (VPNG01L), revision V5.04.002 is used. The DGFV338 router is in use here, but the same process applies for other NETGEAR ProSAFE Routers (such as SRX5308, FVS336, FVS318G, FVS318N, and ProSECURE UTMs). Objective: To show how to configure a Mac OS X VPN client, to work with a NETGEAR FVS336Gv2 router. The VPN configuration on the FVS336Gv2 is valid for all the ProSAFE VPN Firewall/Routers, and they can be setup using the same instructions as shown here.

Since NETGEAR's client is Windows only, the only option I've come across is VPN Tracker ( http://www.equinux.com/us/products/vpntracker/index.html). They claim to support many routers and mine was included in that list. Give it a try, they have a demo that you can use to test if it will work. I haven't had success with it but I haven't ruled out other network or configuration issues on the remote side.
As with other VPN clients, it costs more than it should and most home users can't justify paying more for the client software than they did for the router.
Good luck

Cisco AnyConnect is the recommended VPN client for Mac. The built-in VPN client for Mac is another option but is more likely to suffer from disconnects.

Overview

Stanford's VPN allows you to connect to Stanford's network as if you were on campus, making access to restricted services possible. To connect to the VPN from your Mac you need to install the Cisco AnyConnect VPN client.

Two types of VPN are available:

  • Default Stanford (split-tunnel). When using Stanford's VPN from home, we generally recommend using the Default Stanford split-tunnel VPN. This routes and encrypts all traffic going to Stanford sites and systems through the Stanford network as if you were on campus. All non-Stanford traffic proceeds to its destination directly.
  • Full Traffic (non-split-tunnel). This encrypts all internet traffic from your computer but may inadvertently block you from using resources on your local network, such as a networked printer at home. If you are traveling or using wi-fi in an untrusted location like a coffee shop or hotel, you may wish to encrypt all of your internet traffic through the Full Traffic non-split-tunnel VPN to provide an additional layer of security.
