I am unaware of any mac-specific bundling code in the FreeCol sources other than the configuration in the top level build.xml. I fear all the developers who ever worked closely with the installer are currently inactive. I know nothing about it and avoid touching it unless it is broken and someone tells me how to fix it. > Looking back at the archives it seems like the mac version was bundled > quite a long time ago, I’m not sure if it has been updated since then > but this is what I could find on it > https://sourceforge.net/p/freecol/mailman/message/1128349/ > <https://sourceforge.net/p/freecol/mailman/message/1128349/>.

I suggest you download the FreeCol sources, work out how to update the installer or at least the mac-specific parts, get it working again, and tell us how what to do. That would be really helpful!
