Perhaps you’ve considered dabbling in AVR programming on OS X, maybe even sharpen up on Unix syntax in the process. Unfortunately, installing the Mac/AVR toolchain can be a very frustrating experience to the uninitiated. The process involves locating and installing countless interdependent apps, tools, and libraries. But just before giving in and trying another OS – help arrives! Check out AVR MacPack. This software package installs via the standard Mac method, just a few clicks and you’ve got all the necessary components for compiling and programming. –Link

Macpack looks nice, but AVR development on OS X hasn’t been the nightmare you describe for a long time. I’ve been using the OSX-AVR package for quite a while and it’s great.

I second that: OSX-AVR is very, very good.
Windows users: Go straight for WinAVR, of course.
