It wont take kindly to java 7, so try java 8

EDIT: if your using a older forge version only pre 8_20 java versions work properly

What version of OSX do you have, and what process are you going through where the OS says it needs Java v6?
I'm running v7 on 10.9, and I don't get any complaints from vanilla Minecraft or any mods so far.

As I recall the mac os minecraft client contains a bundled version of java 6. To get the launcher to use the installed java I just downloaded the linux launcher: minecraft.jar.

Otherwise you need to explicitly set the java path for each profile to point to your java 7 install but determining the correct path is somewhat obscure

That was true for 10.8 - which was fussy as hell about Java versions that weren't v6 - but it shouldn't be necessary anymore. In fact, the bash files I was previously using as workarounds to load modpack launchers actually broke in Mavericks. At first I freaked out...but then I realized I could now simply load the regular .jar files directly like you were originally meant to :p
