    We have an Aruba 3400 controller with 50+ 105 access points.  I was wondering if it is possible to restrict access, by MAC address, to a particular AP so that only specified client(s) can connect to it.

    You would use a different virtual-ap profile for that AP/SSID and use a different AAA profile (MAC-auth)

    Its possible just like Tim said, but i think that mac address authentication is not good.. its easy to crack, if it possible go with 802.1x.
