Yes. Foil is not in TeX Live because it comes with a license which is
too restrictive. But it is free for individual use and you can easily
obtain it by typing foil.cls in Google.
Put this file in
~/Library/texmf/tex/latex
(or a subfolder of this location) and you are off to the races. Here ~/
Library is the Library folder in your home directory. You may have to
create the subdirectories.
