sha256sum is a standalone program which is part of the GNU
coreutils package, and there should be an equivalent version
for BSD based system (like Mac OS X).

If Apple don't supply it, then you will either have to compile
it yourself or use the macports system:

If you are not comfortable wit hthat then the Fedora CDROM burning
docs suggest a tool called HashTab:
