If you are using the latest installation of gwTeX, version 4.2 of
nomencl is included with TeX Live by default. What you need is an
engine within TeXShop to process your nomenclature. Within ~/Library/
TeXShop/Engines, duplicate XeTeX.engine and rename it
MakeNomenclature.engine (or something similar). Open the file with
your favorite text editor and replace the contents with
#!/bin/sh
bfname=$(dirname "$1")/"`basename "$1" .tex`"
makeindex "$bfname".nlo -s nomencl.ist -o "$bfname".nls
Save the file and restart TeXShop. In the drop down menu next to
Typeset, you should see MakeNomenclature (or whatever you called
it). Choose that and hit Typeset.
I think that should be all that you need.
