That's because I haven't had time yet to actually build the installer for OSX 
due to lack of free time because both my professional and private lives are 
fully filled at the moment (which is great, but leaves very little time to hack 
on Python or PyObjC).

Speaking of which... I have a mac-mini that could be used for a buildbot. How 
much work is needed to kickstart a buildbot, taking into account that I'd 
prefer to have a buildbot with different configure-flags that the default unix 
build (that is, I want to test a framework build that is a universal binary).

Creating the Mac installer is easy: just run Mac/BuildScript/build-installer.py 
on an OSX 10.5 system where a local version of Tcl/Tk 8.4 is installed in 
/Library/Frameworks. The system should also not have fink or darwinports and a 
clean /usr/local tree to avoid contaminating the build.
