For Mac OS X, just compile the whole kit and caboodle natively. I've got PostgreSQL 7.4.1 running on Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) - on an iMac 333Mhz (Strawberry). It's great - even I was able to compile it straight out of the box!

Of course, Mac OS X is a Unix-like environment, so it's nowhere near the same as Mac OS 9. Under Mac OS 9 there is no command line available, so one option I'd suggest is using a terminal package like NCSA Telnet or its successor MacTelnet[1]. Once you have a terminal package, use it to open a shell on the DB server or a machine that has the client software available.
