Okay I figured out a few things. Maybe this will be helpful for other people.
1) The only controls which can receive keyboard focus on OS X carbon are text entry controls. If a form is designed with a button or other non text entry control with a tab order of 0, of if active control is set to a non text entry control, the application will throw an exception possibly causing the application to stop or hang. The current trunk of lazarus sets the focus to a tab control when the IDE is opened causing it to halt at some point while opening. This needs fixing in lazarus trunk. 2) Recent lazarus revisions code tools fail when reading a line in classes dealing with generics specialization. Changing the declaration by removing the keyword specialize seems to have fixed the problem. My solution needs more testing. When fixed, event handlers can be added at design time. 3) It seems (at least on Mavericks) that the gdb from macports foes not work with lazarus. It might need to be configured some place in lazarus in more depth, but at this point I have no clue where to start. Setting the debugger to 'none' allows programs to be run from the IDE, although it won't debug without the debugger (obviously). I would still appreciate help with this issue. Also of note, when running programs from the IDE, your program will appear behind your design time form making it look like nothing is running. Setting the option to hide the IDE while running doesn't help because it only hides the IDE and not the form designer. 4) Launching a lazarus created program from the command line will cause it to hang. Instead you need to type 'open -a your program'.
