There are two well known problems with Mac OSX.
(1)
You did not use gnutar to unpack the distribution. The result is some file
names are truncated and the installation has partially failed. I believe
the error in this case is "NoClassDefFoundError" which is probably not your
case.
Solution:
Unpack the distribution again this time using gnutar which is included in
the dev tools distribution.

There exists an encoding filter (EUC_JP) in the examples which causes a
problem. As a result the context is not loaded and any attempt to get the
/examples/* context will result in a 404 which sounds like your problem.
You can tell for sure by looking at the localhost_log to see if the context
failed to load.
Solution:
Comment out the encoding filter in the
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/examples/WEB-INF/web.xml.
I just commented out the filter mapping around lines 68-72.
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>Set Character Encoding</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
The actual filter declaration is above around lines 22-39
<filter>
<filter-name>Set Character Encoding</filter-name>
<filter-class>filters.SetCharacterEncodingFilter</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>encoding</param-name>
<param-value>EUC_JP</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>
