There is a FAQ entry with a couple of pointers, one to an ancient
posting of mine (I still use that mechanism seven years later :-)) and one
to a more refined setup by Russell Adams (using zenity):

Russel's entry in org-hacks is followed by a similar entry by Sarah
Bagby using terminal-notifier on OS X.
