In man/dired.texi:
@cindex drag and drop, Dired
On the X window system, Emacs supports the ``drag and drop''
protocol.
And in man/files.texi:
Secondly, Emacs supports the ``drag and drop'' protocol on the X
window system. Dropping a file into an ordinary Emacs window visits
the file using that window. However, dropping a file into a window
displaying a Dired buffer moves or copies the file into the displayed
directory. For details, see @ref{Drag and Drop}, @ref{Misc Dired
Features}.
Does this now work on MS Windows and MacOS?

Yes. I use Emacs on Windows XP all week at work and uses drag and drop
to open files many times per day.

Strictly speaking, this works on Mac OS X/Carbon and Mac OS
Classic/Carbon builds, but doesn't work on Mac OS Classic/non-Carbon
build. But I think it is OK to say "This also works on Mac OS"
because this distinction is too detailed to mention in
platform-independent sections and the Mac OS Classic/non-Carbon build
is really minor.

Would someone please mention this point in the MacOS chapter
(if it isn't already)?

It already has the following description at the end of the "Mac OS"
node:
Non-Carbon build on Mac OS Classic does not support some features
such as file dialogs, drag-and-drop, and Unicode menus.
