Is there a Mac OS X equivalent of the Linux iwconfig command?

ifconfig gives information about all interfaces, including WLAN. The WLAN interface is usually en1.

$ ifconfig en1
en1: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        ether 20:c9:d0:97:22:e9 
        inet6 fe80::22c9:d0ff:fe97:22e9%en1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 
        inet 192.168.1.137 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
        media: autoselect
        status: active

airport -I gives information about WLAN interfaces (check out the man page for additional options)

$ /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/A/Resources/airport -I en1
