Consult this recent discussion:
http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/error-running-qgis-master-sextante-depends-on-psycopg2-but-this-dependency-isn-t-well-known-td5023977.html#a5042252

Basically, if you are using QGIS installed via kyngchaos or the nightly,
the app is built against Apple's system Python. As such, it looks for
modules installed in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages, not under /opt.

Kyngchaos.com has an installer for that module that will properly install,
so that QGIS will find it.

There are other solutions, but that is the simplest.

Regards,

Larry
