There is a way to do this without installing putty on your Mac. You can easily convert your existing PPK file to a PEM file using PuTTYgen on Windows.
Launch PuTTYgen and then load the existing private key file using the Load button. From the "Conversions" menu select "Export OpenSSH key" and save the private key file with the .pem file extension.
Copy the PEM file to your Mac and set it to be read-only by your user:
chmod 400 <private-key-filename>.pem
Then you should be able to use ssh to connect to your remote server
ssh -i <private-key-filename>.pem username@hostname
