It's worth looking at VRML a little more closely. It appears that there may be some Mac OSX viewers, making this a little more cross-platform. While I haven't tested this much, it may be feasible to export the model in 3DS to Sketchup and use the Sketchup Viewer, too.

FOLLOWUP: I tried VRML using the Cortona 3D viewer on a reasonably small one-story house. The performance is not good. I think the SketchUp route is better. I tested this on the same model, and huge improvement in performance.
