Step One: Install a package manager
There are two package manager on OS X: Homebrew and Macports. You can use the package manager of your choice.
To install Homebrew follow the instructions on brew.sh.
To install Macports follow the instructions on macports.org/install.php.

If you are using Macports in a Terminal window, run:
You will find a sample Tor configuration file at /opt/local/etc/tor/torrc.sample. Remove the .sample extension to make it effective.
Step Three: Configure your application to use Tor
To use SOCKS directly (for instant messaging, Jabber, IRC, etc), you can point your application directly at Tor (localhost port 9050), but see this FAQ entry for why this may be dangerous. For applications that support neither SOCKS nor HTTP, take a look at socat.

If you have a personal firewall that limits your computer's ability to connect to itself, be sure to allow connections from your local applications to local port 9050. If your firewall blocks outgoing connections, punch a hole so it can connect to at least TCP ports 80 and 443, and then see this FAQ entry.
If it's still not working, look at this FAQ entry for hints.
