This behavior was hard-coded for Mac OS X.  On Linux, the command-line
reorder tool will check all directories listed in the PATH environment
variable, usually /bin, /usr/bin, and a few others.  I have just
committed a change to Mauve that will allow OS X to also search PATH for
progressiveMauve if it fails to find the program
in ./Mauve.app/Contents/MacOS 
That change will appear in tomorrow's aligner snapshot, available from:
http://gel.ahabs.wisc.edu/mauve/snapshots/
Using the new OS X snapshot it should be possible to have the reorder
tool run progressiveMauve from /usr/bin or any other directory in the
PATH environment variable.  Note that you'll need to copy the binary to
such a directory, or add the Mauve.app/Contents/MacOS directory to your
PATH.
