Replying to my own post, I now realize that when I downloaded what I thought was the driver from:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/cuda_get.html

in fact, the 'driver' button for 'Mac OS' was totally missing (I mistakenly that the 'toolkit' included the driver.

So, when I try to run one of the example pgms from the SDK, I get, e.g.

/Developer/CUDA/bin/darwin/release$ ./Mandelbrot
Using device 0: Device Emulation (CPU)
Compute capability 9999.9999
Data init done.
Initializing GLUT...
Loading extensions: No error
OpenGL window created.
Starting GLUT main loop...

Press [?] to print location and scale
Press [q] to exit
...

and I get a black window.

Any comments?  Anyone know the status of CUDA drivers for OSX?

Apparently, my setup is still not complete.  When trying out the
examples, I discover:

Python 2.6 (r26:66714, Nov 14 2008, 14:37:46)

import pycuda.driver as cuda
cuda.init()

Again I ask if there's something obvious I'm missing?

I have a GeForce 8600M GT and installed the cuda sdk:
