It should be enough to chown the "data" directory to "mysql".

It should - I am still investigating why it seems to fail here. Can you
please try, if the command "hostname" reveals any output on your system?
This command is being run by the installer during the package installation
to install the MySQL privilege tables. Somehow, this does not seem to work
properly on some Mac OS X boxes.
To install the privilege tables manually, try to run the following
commands in a Terminal:
cd /usr/local/mysql
sudo scripts/mysql_install_db
sudo chown -R mysql data
sudo bin/mysqld_safe
CTRL+Z (suspend mysqld)
bg
CTRL+D (exit the shell)
Please observe, if mysql_install_db fails for you and what error message
you see - this may give us a hint why the package installation fails for
you.
Bye,
LenZ
