A Mac application is a .dmg image containing a directory. To install this 
directory, you drag and drop it to the application folder. The application has 
to be adapted to specific mac os x system file organisation. The alternative to 
packaging is manual installation from TinyERP sources on every machine.

You can use X11 on Mac as on any UNIX based system. I have seen two 
limitations: performance is degraded over long-latency networks (like adsl), 
and second, you may have problems to re-initialise a broken connection. So I 
proposed two alternative which are more operational.

I would recommend a hosting architecture if you are not comfortable with sys 
admin and security. Whatever you do (TinyERP or filemaker) opening to the net 
requires some care.
