Yes, I added those instructions (/me hugs his mac).

But actually, those images are just for trying the official builds.  
Also, note that there is a bug so currently the images run at 640x480  
(http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/504).

For developing your own stuff, it's much easier to use "sugar- 
jhbuild" on a regular Linux machine (or Parallels install, as I do):

If you have any problems getting started, it's best to hop by on IRC,  
#olpc and #sugar on irc.freenode.net.
