We have no documentation on that as this problem is very OS specific.
I'd suggest Googling for information on creating a launch daemon,
which should work fine - an un-tested plist file might look like
(substitute the variables for real values):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";>
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Disabled</key>
<false/>
<key>Label</key>
<string>com.edb.launchd.pgagent</string>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>$INSTALL_DIR/bin/pgagent</string>
<string>-f</string>
<string>-l1</string>
<string>-s</string>
<string>/var/log/pgagent.log</string>
<string>host=$PG_HOST</string>
<string>port=$PG_PORT</string>
<string>dbname=$PG_DATABASE</string>
<string>user=$PG_USER</string>
</array>
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>
<key>UserName</key>
<string>postgres</string>
<key>KeepAlive</key>
<dict>
<key>SuccessfulExit</key>
<false/>
</dict>
</dict>
</plist>

As there is for Mac:
http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/download/mirrors-ftp/pgadmin3/release/pgagent/pgAgent-3.0.0-Darwin.tar.gz

OS X on any Mac Book will be 32 bit iirc.
