The OS X binary will not create "new" locations in the GUI mode.  You 
MUST start the text mode with the command in xterm:

grass5 -text

This starts the text mode window where you may name and create new 
locations and mapsets.

After a location is established you may start the GUI with the command
  tcltkgrass &

You will have to quit and restart the GUI once before it is usable. 
You will get an error message about "error writing to Console 1" 
QUIT the GUI using the quit button on the main menu, and immediately 
restart  from the xterm using the command:

  tcltkgrass &


to restore default use of the GUI, exit grass in xterm
by typing
exit
and then restart

grass5 -tcltk

You will still have to quit and restart the GUI as described above.
