Brandon,

I¹m not sure what your exact problem is? Are you trying to get the GRASS
plugins working in QGIS? Lorenzo Moretti has a drag/drop script to make
needed changes in QGIS to make it run GRASS plugins. However, you must start
QGIS from the GRASS prompt for this to work. That is, you have to be running
GRASS in order to use the plugins. At least that is how it was the last time
I used it a few months back. This may have changed in the new version 8
beta, which I¹ve not really tried.

It¹s also possible that QGIS will not work with the Mac framework libraries,
but I doubt this is the case (except maybe for GDAL).
