I set the path in .bash_profile set as you suggested ("export
GRASS_PYTHON=/usr/bin/pythonw2.7"), and that did the trick--Grass 7 is now
running on my Mac with OS X 10.8.5.  Thank you all VERY much for your help.

For the future, I would love to know whether it is possible to install the
following combination in Mavericks, using the KyngChaos builds:

--PostgreSQL with PostGIS (postGIS is critical to me)
--GRASS 7
--QGIS

Thanks again,

John
