I don't understand what you're waiting for. Tiger ships wih X  
windows. If the developer tools are installed, you can compile  
Ghostscript. It works just fine. The Mac PDF viewer Preview works on  
PostScript: it converts to PDF on the fly. It's probably a better  
choice because it uses the MacOSX Quartz rendering stuff. And if  
you're looking for a command-line interface, there's xterm or the Mac  
Terminal or the freeware iTerm. AFAICT these all support the standard  
ANSI command/escape codes.
