This is a far better solution on OSX compared to /usr/ since it actually is the way the OS is designed to be used. There's also a directory called Application Support/ that is expressly for this type of thing, and it is where Max, Adobe software, and other apps using the plugin format put 3rd party items.
Good point... /Library/Application Support/Pd would be better, but the space in that path may need a little special care.
