Duplicate the Linux setup and it'll ``just work''

Right, but a Mac font won't've been working in NeXTstep without being
converted to a .font bundle (for installation to NeXTstep), or a .pfa or
.pfb (for use with TeX)

Not nifty NeXT-style .font bundles :(

An OpenType font with TrueType outlines can be installed into pdfTeX
(according to the manual), but nifty glyph tables, etc. won't be made
use of.... but I'm sure no one wants to hear 'bout that again from me.
