I am curious why you might recommend Lorenzo's binaries over OpenOSX's 
free stand-alone GRASS application?

OpenOSX's application has the following advantages over Lorenzo's 
binaries: OpenOSX Grass is a complete stand-alone application requiring 
zero installation, it has built-in Mac OS X 10.4 support (no update 
required), and is based on GRASS 6.0.1 versus Lorenzos which is based 
on GRASS 6.0.0...

The OpenOSX Grass application also supports JPEG2000, and OpenOSX was 
the first to package Grass for Mac OS X and has been making free GRASS 
binaries available for almost 5 years now.

OpenOSX Grass is available as a free download from: 
<http://OpenOSX.com/grass>
