It looks to me like the instructions will work OK for OS X, with some minor alterations. /home/joesmith becomes /Users/joesmith. I ended up doing a parallel installation of Python 2.5 and connecting the GAE apps to that; I'm not sure if that's necessary, but it was an easy way to shut up one of GAE's complaints. However, OS X (and Windows) users are probably going to use the very handy GAE GUI application for testing and deployment. Finally, it might be worth noting that there might be some other changes required to app.yaml. The example is set up to deploy the web2py welcome app, and it tries to keep the upload fairly lightweight, skipping some of the less-often-used contrib files and the like. You might also mention the use of GAE's app versioning, which can be handy for uploading newer versions for test purposes without making them the default.
