Privoxy isn't aware of MAC addresses but you can access the client's
ip address with the $origin variable. The client-ip-address tagger
in default.filter does that.

If your Privoxy build supports it, you could use an external filter
(written in any programming language you like) to get the MAC address
from the IP address in the environment variable PRIVOXY_ORIGIN.
