Thanks very very very very very much Marcus! As others have been appreciative before me, I thank you now, although I wonder how I wasn't able to find your step-by-step before. As Mr. Kobias says, it worked like a charm on a clean 10.5.6 OSX client install.
I would note I didn't need to worry about users/permissions on the etc subfolders or the files contained therein. The only step I would add, although this is before I've really gotten puppetd going on a separate client machine(I only tested puppetd functionality and it's UP!), is to make sure DNS is pointing at the puppetmasterd server so it can generate certs and be found easily. If we could eventually work out a default puppet.conf(which is the only step that requires any customization to allow barebones functionality) that helps you generate an SSL cert from localhost in one step we'd be golden, I'd think. Mr. Kersten, have you attempted to setup the /etc/puppet and / var/lib/puppet directories via the installer in the past? Will report back soon, post verification and documenting the steps on a fresh install, but thanks to all!
