I've only been using macs for a short while but if you enter the
command 'ioreg -l | grep IOPlatformSerialNumber' in the console it will
return the system serial number. It's the same number reported by the
system profiler. Not sure how unique it is though.

This is okay, as the serial number is just a 32bit value stored in the
first bytes of the hard disc.
10 years ago I wrote DOS applications to read/write the serial
number...
