Cross-platform the Cancel button is the right most button of the 
left-to-right order or the lowest button of the top-to-bottom order. See 
http://wyoguide.sourceforge.net/guidelines/dialogs.html#buttons . This 
doesn't suits the MacOSX very well but IMO it's not worth to code 
different for a platform in this case.
