I use a script to tell me where site-packages is.  Save this as  
"pyext" for example and you can do things like

 >>> ls `pyext`

and tab-completion works fine with that in Bash.  If you need to find  
the site-packages for a specific python, then just run it as

 >>> /usr/local/bin/python pyext.py

assuming you call it "pyext.py" in that case...

================= pyext script ================
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
for p in sys.path:
   if p.endswith('site-packages'):
     print p
     sys.exit()

================ end script =================

It's not particularly elegant, but I find it useful (and not just on  
OS X).
