pygame _should_ work fine on osx, since all the dependencies run there. 
the only thing holding it back is getting distutils to compile on osx. 
pygame uses distutils for the install, which has been very good on unix 
and windows platforms. unfortunately macos and osx support aren't really 
"there yet".

i believe i've heard python-2.2 is supposed to release with a much 
friendlier osx distutils.

actually, when i say all the dependencies work on osx, that isn't quite 
true. some of the sdl libraries like SDL_image can't properly compile to 
a shared library on osx. this is supposedly already fixed though, and 
waiting for the next release.

i'm hoping in a month or two we'll have everything in place for full osx 
support.
