I went thought this pain with Postgresql, trying to get it working on the Mac. I went with the Vagrant/VM route and now run a linux-based dev environment inside of OS X. It also has the benefit of not polluting my host OS. And has prepared me for actual Linux deployment. I can mount the VM web-directory from my host OS so I can continue using some of my favorite tools.
