xboard was a little beyond my "double-click and go" limitations. But - I found an excellent free chess engine for Macs that is right up my alley: download, drag & drop to install, double-click and go. It will replay pgn files and do a lot of other chess stuff too... I'm a happy camper.
Here's a link:
yw :) I'm liking this program more and more... the free lite version more than meets all my chess needs. Position editor, pgn reader/maker, novice to "stomps-my-butt" play strength, it's all I'll ever need. And if by some miracle, I ever get good enough to need all the features of the full version, the upgrade fee is very reasonable.
btw - There are instructions in the documentation for creating custom board tiles and pieces, so it also aroused my artistic muse... I quickly whipped up a fully customized set using the free OS X resource editor "Rezilla" and Photoshop.
Shredder offers a NICE system for MAC and Linux, although it isn't free.

ALSO, I believe SCID works with MAC. Google "SCID download". It's free.
NVM, found it: http://cachivaches.chauca.net/scid/
Only problem I have with sigma is that on my mac is crashes like, every three seconds. I am going to try out Hiarcs and see if it works.
here's a nice free one. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pgn-viewer/id501982586?mt=12
paquetdefrite, the answer I have is free if not entirely good just now - have you tried using the site's PGN viewer Game Editor?
You can paste in a PGN file (or FEN string) & see the position on the virtual board, then enter or delete moves with your own annotation. The only problem with it at the moment is that you can't promote but it's been reported & I'm told it should be fixed pretty soon.
This may be of help..

Can someone point me to a PGN reader for Mac OS X if one exists?
