I'm on Mac OS X, too. At first, I couldn't even get as far as you did. The
tests can't find Squeak3D.log unless I select "Choose file name" and
specify ":Squeak3D.log" (not "/Squeak3D.log") because the log file gets
written into the top-level directory on my hard drive.

When I finally figured that out, the test prints a bunch of output and ends
by saying 

    ANALYSIS:
    This hardware has NO accelerated OpenGL support whatsoever (bad news). 
    If the hardware is indeed 3D capable, you will need to obtain OpenGL
    drivers from your vendor.
    This hardware has no sufficient depth buffer support (bad news). 
    A depth buffer of at least 16 bit is required by Tea.
    This hardware has NO stencil buffer support (bad news). 
    Stencil buffer support is required by Tea.

    SUMMARY: This system should be capable of running Tea just fine.
