You'll find that fluidsynth is a program for all seasons.

Mac OS X.3.3 has built-in MIDI capabilities. In your utilities folder, 
there is a program called AudioMidiSetup. You will also find that Open 
Music System's IAC (inter-application communication) is also built into 
X.3.3. Check these out.

Both fluidsynth-1.0.3 (and -1.0.4-1) and SWAMI-0.9.2 work with 
MidiShare-1.87. Though I would suggest you wait for the latest version 
of SWAMI due out quite soon (tune in to the SWAMI development pages).

The fluid-dev archives also contain considerable details about this.
