As I said when I answered your original message:

It might be tucked away in the app bundle (can't check right now I'm
afraid) - if not, you'll need to build from source unfortunately.

It is supported, though we don't make a specific point of including it
in an installer because few people run their servers on OS X. Oh, and
for the record, we've supported OS X since our second major release of
pgAdmin, around the time of PostgreSQL 8.0.

Source code can be found at http://www.pgadmin.org/download/source.php

And instructions are linked from the same page. I would suggest not using
the --enable-appbudle configure option, or running 'make install'. When
it's all built, you should find the pgagent binary in xtra/pgagent/ in the
source tree.
