Compiling the POV-Ray for Unix source code works exactly the same way on 
Mac OS X as on Linux. If you've done it on Linux, there's no reason not 
to try it on Mac OS X.

I don't think you can do anything wrong if you only configure, compile 
and install (and use) POV-Ray on the command line and use the Finder to 
do things like deleting files. Again, you can (and can't) do exactly the 
same things on the command line on Mac OS X as on Linux.
