Whoops... I had meant to post this flamebait to the whole list. :)

Your primary concern is exploits (or ramp-down to SSH-1, but I
*think* Macs avoid that... and anyway, hacking SSH-1 still takes a
lot of work). If you keep your computers up on security updates,
have a solid password policy and reasonably scared users, and you
don't have highly-sensitive/lucrative data, then IMHO you shouldn't
worry. There are plenty of Windows installations out there that are
so thoroughly hackable that a reasonably secure Mac network just
isn't worth hacking unless it's guarding something really juicy.
