You can backup your private keys (which are contained in wallet.dat in the official client) as described here :

https://multibit.org/v0.5/help_backupWalletUsingPrivateKeys.html (https://multibit.org/v0.5/help_backupWalletUsingPrivateKeys.html)

I just found this post, too :)

MultiBit uses a different wallet format than Bitcoin-Qt, they are not compatible.

As per World's post:
~/Library/Application Support/MultiBit/


You can see where any particular wallet is stored in the title of your MultiBit window.
