Even if there is a similar tool on OSX (otool provides that info),  
this will only work if Xerces is linked as a shared library.  I build  
my GDAL framework with a static Xerces since GDAL is the only thing  
I've encountered so far that uses it.


I see another problem - OSX does not have lynx.  Wouldn't curl or wget  
work for this, and be more universally available? (curl for OSX)

It does.
