Those two scripts may be pretty specific to debian, but what they do is:

6 - enable mod_rewrite.
This is probably done in your /etc/apache2/httpd.conf file already. It
probably looks something like:
LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/apache2/mod_rewrite.s
so, you're probably already done there.

7 - get the etc/koha/koha.conf file into apache and restart it.
I think OSX does this by putting files in /etc/apache2/other. copy the
etc/koha/koha.conf file there and restart apache.

You may have to edit that configuration file a bit, OSX is a little
different than linux.

If you get this working, please let us know. We would love to have an
INSTALL.osx file.

Hope it helps!
