How can one go about getting the Macintosh computer to dial a phone number from inside FMP9?

A somewhat different idea. If you have Skype installed and running, with Skype Out credit available, you can use the "callto:" URL prefix to dial out.

callto://+16196921529

will call my phone (don't everyone try at once :-)

You seem to need the whole thing, even for a local number. It also costs a little over .02 per minute (it shows the rate in Skype). It is cross-platform.

If you have someone's Skype user handle, you can call that and it's free.
