I've been playing with Miller's experimental version for Intel OS X (see http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/Software/pd-imac-test.mac.tar.gz ) and for the most part, it works great.

Some minor problems exist; for instance, the GOP dialog color selectors don't display any color. But one thing is driving me crazy, and I'm not sure if it's specific to Intel-Mac, or if it's been a problem with PD on the Mac before this (I'm switching from the Windows version):

Typing on the computer keyboard (e.g. to enter something in a number box) after focus has just transferred to PD, makes a crunch or pop in the sound right at the moment of the first key press. Subsequent key presses do not interfere with the sound, until focus is switched to another app (or maybe even another PD window -- I can't reproduce this very consistently) and then is returned to PD.

I've tried different latency settings and this has had no effect.

This seems like some bad interaction between the OS key-handling and PD. I suppose it could be some OS X external (like Dashboard) that is causing this, but I thought I'd check the list to see if this behavior is familiar to anybody before I start ripping apart my configuration. Particularly, I'd like to know if this behavior has appeared on PPC OS X PD?
