If you had one open when you quit GnuCash the last time on your PC then GnuCash's knowledge of that is in that .gnucash directory, so once you get its contents copied into ~/Library/Application Support/Gnucash it should appear the next time you open GnuCash.

That's interesting. In Finder (the mac equivalent of Windows Explorer) use Go>Go to Folder… and enter ~/.gnucash to see if it's there. If it is, try copying saved-reports-2.4 there.
