A google search for "completion case emacs os x"
turns up this link:
http://www.nabble.com/23.0.60--OSX:-Case-insensitive-file-name-completion-td17014019.html

Looks like the variable `read-file-name-completion-ignore-case' is set to t
by default, but set it to nil to get the behavior you're after.  It works
for me in a quick test.
