No, it is not. It's illegal to redistribute Apple fonts, just like
Microsoft fonts. I'm the maintainer of the ttf-ms-win8 and did some
research on that. AUR package should not contain download links for such
fonts, take a look how I did it for my package.

This package source links:
http://ompldr.org/vNXFlNA — illegal
http://invisible-**files.googlecode.com/files/**ttf-mac-fonts.tar.gz<http://invisible-files.googlecode.com/files/ttf-mac-fonts.tar.gz>
—
illegal
https://macbuntu.svn.**sourceforge.net/svnroot/**macbuntu/Macbuntu/fonts<https://macbuntu.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/macbuntu/Macbuntu/fonts>
—
illegal

On the other way, the approach of
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tt/ttf-mac-fonts/PKGBUILD and
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tt/ttf-mac/PKGBUILD is good. No sources
in AUR.

So one definetely should merge and rework them to provide great Apple fonts
package, but I don't have Mac and cannon do it myself.
