Even though Adobe is dragging their feet offering support ... you are in luck since you are using an OS X product ... you don't have to wait until Adobe thinks it's time to offer you a solution ... you can tether with your D600 right now and it won't cost you a one cent ... because Apple added tethering support back in October 2012 ...
It's slightly convoluted though.
On you Macbook Pro there is an app installed by default called Image Capture. Start Image Capture, plug your camera into the laptop with the USB cord. Thurn on the camera. Then from the Menu go to: File>Take Picture ... this will open a dialog box that you can designate a folder to save your images. Then point Lightroom to that folder in "watched folder" mode and you are in business ... takes a touch longer to see your results in Lightroom than if you were tethering directly ... but you can get the job done.
Keep in mind you can't trigger the camera or adjust settings from within Lightroom ... but you can see you results and begin work on your images very quickly ...
