Add AnswerThere are some unofficial 7zip packages for Linux and other systems - you can find links to these at http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
Have you tried Stuffit Expander? It uncompresses pretty much every compression format available.
I have stuffit deluxe 9.0 but it doesn't support 7z
Try iArchiver - http://www.iArchiver.com - it's a pretty cool tool to create, extract and convert archives across multiple formats. Unfortunately its not free :( but I hear there are ways around that :)
I recommend the The unarchiver to decompress all file types. It opens just about every thing and runs great on Leopard.
Sorry, here is the link to The Unarchiver
I'll second smalltransport's recommendation of "The unarchiver". This is one of the first programs I downloaded for my Mac when I switched to Macintosh back in 2006.

The Unarchiver won't work with 7z. I tried. Try iArchiver.
One of the following should work for 7zip format on OS X

I tried ez 7z also. It works very quickly and problem free on Tiger 10.4.11. It runs in Terminal with a GUI front-end.
