I bought through GoG.com. For reasons I know not of, GoG.com does not have the 1.03 patch available for OS X yet. Where can I get this patch?

What version of the game do you have now?
Iirc, there was a problem with GoGs updater for the Win version. As a result, GoG pulled the Mac links for several days until they fixed the problem. The Mac installer is now back and available for download and it is the latest version of FTL.
The version displayed on the game page is GoGs internal version number and refers to installer and updater versions, not the game itself. Since the Pc version has been available since release it is a higher version (2.0.0 internal) than the Mac version that has only recently been available and has received only one update (currently 1.2.0 internal).
FTL will show 1.03.1 in the bottom right corner when you start the game, that is the latest version of FTL, and that's the only one you can download.

When I looked earlier today, the installer that GoG had available for download claimed to be 1.2.0, but when I pulled it down and reinstalled it, the next FTL I had was 1.03. So GoG's bizzare fondness for re-numbering releases strikes again.

They seem to think that since the only game version you can download is the latest one, they should only mention their installer and updater versions.
It fails the second someone wants to report a bug inTHE GAME, and they have no clue what the game version is, on as in your case when the installer says 1.2.0 and that happens to be the previous game version... all in all, it's good fun if you like confusion.
The path to sanity is to take for granted that GoG has an up to date game at all times. When an update is available the game is highlighted so you can't miss it.
