Two quick remarks:

- This directory hierarchy (though I think it's advocated in the README 
coming with cm-super) does not work, try instead:

~/Library/texmf/fonts/type1/public/cm-super/*.pfb
~/Library/texmf/dvips/config/*.map, *.enc, config.cm-super

(There's also something for dvipdfm, but I've never used it.)

- You need to modify config.ps for dvips, and pdftex.cfg for pdftex. 
That is, you need to make copies of them (from texmf.local) and add to 
config.ps the lines:

p +cm-super-t1.map
p +cm-super-ts1.map
p +cm-super-t2a.map
p +cm-super-t2b.map
p +cm-super-t2c.map
p +cm-super-x2.map

and to pdftex.cfg the lines:

map +cm-super-t1.map
map +cm-super-ts1.map
map +cm-super-t2a.map
map +cm-super-t2b.map
map +cm-super-t2c.map
map +cm-super-x2.map

In my case I put the modified copies in:

~/Library/texmf/dvips/config/config.ps
~/Library/texmf/pdftex/config/pdftex.cfg

I seem to remember Gerben saying there's something wrong with this 
approach (for example having to keep track of modifications to the files 
in the texmf.local directory for every new teTeX release), but I 
couldn't remember what should be done instead (maybe modifying directly 
the files in temf.local).

This can also be done maybe in a more automated way using updmap, but I 
don't know how.
