Everything needed is specified on my PostGIS page and is available on my site.  Other PostGIS distributions may use my frameworks (GDAL, ...), but for something like stackbuilder or homebrew they usually do everything.

The PostGIS documentation has upgrade procedures, but basically yes - dump from 1.5, load into 2.0.

(only 1.5)  When I install 1.5 it says it was installed successfully but nothing is put on the mac.  No postgis.sql or anything.  This happens on all of our mac books.  When I try to run the postgis 2 install seperately, it says postgres 9.1 is required. (It is installed and running).
