C++ comes with the installation DVD. The second one if im not mistaken, the one that you install OS9 support with.

It is in XCode, Apple's programming environment like VCPP.

Thought I might add on to this... Apart from XCode (which may seem too complicated to some people), Mac OS X is built on UNIX with the free GCC compiler (currently version 4.0). C/C++ programmers should be familiar with gcc I presume...
