When I try to launch Mathematica 10 on my iMac with OS X 10.10, I get the message:

To open 'Mathematica' you need to install the legacy Java SE runtime.

However, a Mac version is not available on the Java legacy site so the answer seems to be no.

I think that prompt should let you move directly to the download page (I've encountered it for some other third-party software), but if not you can download the Java SE Runtime Environment for OS X from [EDITED thanks to szabolcs]: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572

But yes, Mathematica is compatible with OS X 10.10. I'm using it right now.
