It should work (latest teTeX beta). I am in touch with the maintainer of the mac os x port and he tells me when something breaks on mac os x. The most recently fixed bug was an incompatibility of texconfig and zsh (with the result that the temp. directory directory will not be removed upon program exit), but I have already fixed that (just a few days after that 2002-05-30 beta).
