Thanks for the help Paul,
Though I'd been through those links, it did end up pointing me in the
right direction.
The problem was in maxdgram setting. This defaults to about 9100
bytes in MacOS and I recalled reading that 65535 was the preferred
value with Amanda.
After installing BroadbandTuner (which adjusts some other parameters
as well), I added:
net.inet.udp.maxdgram=65535
to the end of /etc/sysctl.conf and rebooted.
After that amcheck and amdump are working fine!
Cheers,
Bruce.

An update...
First, thanks for the wild guess, Paul (nowait vs wait in
xinetd.d). Setting nowait resulted in port unreachables...
I should be "wait" an nothing else. (Or did I mistype my mail?)
I've started using ethereal to see what the traffic looks like and
it appears that amandad simply isn't responding.
I'm seeing the UDP packet from the server coming in, but nothing
goes out from amandad (which definitely is being launched by xinetd).
Is there a way to get amandad to report more detailed debug
information?
It does by default.
In the AMANDA_DBG directory, usualy /tmp/amanda.
