You can make the process a little easier by going to:

http://fink.sourceforge.net

This is a port/package installation system and there are ports for the avr
tools there.  They are not necessarily the latest and greatest versions,
but they are stable.  Also a Google search should lead you to an article
that shows how to use the Mac OS X development environment, Xcode, with
the avr tools.  I believe that it is at O'Reilly's web site.

Keyspan probably doesn't expect that most Mac users are going to be using
command line UNIX tools too often.

Even Windows still has a command line, but very few people still remember
how to use it.
Mac OS X gives us the best of both worlds and there are still a few things
that are damn near impossible to do from the GUI.
