Hmm ... this probably isn't the right list for you.  Try pgsql-general
or pgsql-interfaces.  As yet, there is no specific OSX resource.

Some general advice (and please take this off-list if you reply):
1. Make sure that postmaster is starting successfully (and not crashing
right after start).
2. Make sure that postmaster is starting in TCP/IP mode ( -i ).
3. Make sure that OSX's built-in firewall isn't blocking Port 5432.
4. Try setting a log file for postgresql and monitor it when you try to
connect.
5. Make sure that the access file (pg_hba.conf) allows access from your
client machine.

Personally, I'd be interested in hearing about your problems/successes.
We're planning to port Postgres to OSX.1 as soon as it comes out.
