The code I was thinking of is at the end of wxWindowBase::DoGetBestSize, 
and a quick test in PyCrust shows me that wxMac does adjust the client 
size when scrollbars are shown.  However that adjustment obviously only 
happens when the default DoGetBestSize is being used.  Other controls 
that may possibly have scrollbars and have their own DoGetBestSize will 
not get adjusted.
