[GRASSLIST:6231] installing 5.0.2 binaries for OS X

This my sound rather simple on my part but I've downloaded the 
OpenOSX-Additions-Grass-5.0.2.tar.bz2, 
grass5.0.2_powerpc-darwin6.5_bin.tar.bz, and 
grass5_powerpc-apple-darwin6.5_install.sh files and 'don't know how to 
use the last named file'.

Also I have GRASS 5.0.1 installed via the OpenOSX CD  and updater in 
/usr/local/grass5/ plus the file grass5 in /usr/bin/ .  I recently 
upgraded my PostgreSQL by downloading postgresql-7.3.2.tar.gz to 
/usr/local/src/postgres .  I made the last 2 directories, src/ and 
postgres/ , first.  That was 'my first attempt to install a UNIX app 
without using an Apple style package installer or fink'.  Should I be 
making a ... /src/grass5/ directory and working from there or in 
/usr/local/grass5/ with existing installation.  Sorry if this is long 
winded but if someone could give me a little direction it would be much 
appreciated.
