Hi Walter, I've also left a comment at the above url... What was different in this installation?
(i) I needed a Jaguar compatible package of postgres server (7.2) and this was grabbed from here:- http://www.entropy.ch/ software/macosx/postgresql/. The pathway
/usr/local/pgsql/binin the configuration file 
openacs4.tcl
needs to be changed to
/usr/local/pgsql/bin

(ii) I used CVS to checkout a copy of openacs-core - the OpenACS 4.5 download distribution has a problem as far as Mac OSX is concerned, as someone else has also discovered. https://openacs.org/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=0002mP&topic_id=OpenACS&topic=11. Because my knolwedge of unix etc is elementary, installation took a while however, it was well worth the effort. The packages that I am interested in and am now exploring are CR/ETP.........the aim being to port over a currently static website to openacs at some point in the future.
