There are two methods. Here are the links:

I first tried the second of these, without MacPorts, but I couldn't get
it to work -- got stuck in the libgnomeprint installation. So I deleted
that failed installation and tried a fresh install of MacPorts and the
first of the above links, and it works: no X11. With a little help from
David T., I wrote a one-line Applescript app to be able to launch
GnuCash directly from the Dock:
do shell script "source /sw/bin/init.sh ; /opt/local/bin/gnucash >&
/dev/null & ; echo"
I haven't tested this native GnuCash yet; I've been trying to tweak the
installation, including the default font:

Any ideas?
