More or less. For example, in

http://osdir.com/ml/openoffice.devel.general/2006-08/msg00003.html

says ``... when installing on TeTeX 3.0, instead of following the  
directions given and putting psfonts.mkr2 into your psfonts.map, the  
correct procedure is to run:
updmap --enable MixedMap /path/to/psfonts.mkr2''

What you really need in these days is

sudo updmap-sys --enable Map=psfonts.mkr2

(I'm not sure if it is a mixed map; from what I see in

http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/language/hebrew/makor/tex/makor2/ 
psfonts.mkr2

it looks to me as map, not mixed map, but I may be wrong. What I'm  
*really* sure is that you need `` sudo updmap-sys ...'', not only ``  
updmap ...''.)

You have to tell us where have you installed all the files, including  
psfonts.mkr2.

I would advise you to join the TeX on Mac OS X mailing list:

http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/

You certainly will find there people who have installed the package  
in the MacTeX distribution.


Best,
