Other than the CPU architecture, not much will change wrt how software is typically distributed on macos. I believe that's the limiting factor for ROS 2 (and ROS 1 actually).

Moving to ARM doesn't change that. Homebrew is a bit of a mess, and so are the other options. Conda might have a bigger impact, but I'm not sure what the status of the macos support is.

ROS 2 has support for OSX (it's a Tier 1 supported platform), but the UX is not consistent with Linux and Windows IIUC (I don't have a mac, so don't know).
Moving to ARM doesn't really change that. ARM64 is already supported, and "apple silicon" is really just that.
Homebrew is a bit of a mess, mess though, and so are the other options. So from-source builds can be involved (to say the least). Conda might have a bigger impact, but I'm not sure what the status of the macos support is.
