My understanding is that with the Windows versions of Photoshop CS3 there is Adobe Gamma included. If one is using a calibration device such as Spyder or Eye-one, one is supposed to delete Adobe Gamma so that it doesn’t try to ‘correct’ the calibration.

Is Adobe Gamma only for the Windows version? I can’t find any reference to it on my Macbook Pro

The Mac seems to have its own proprietary calibration facility, found in the Displays option of System Preferences. Does one have to disable this (or anything else) if one is using a calibration device?

No, you don’t do any of that. Just name your new profile done with the hardware so you can easily recognize it, and then make sure it’s the active one for the monitor.

This is where your calibrated file goes in the MAC so it boots into your calibrated screen.
