On macs, you need to get a tclkit runtime or else install a recent
version of tcl on your machine. The runtime is very simple to install
and gives you the ability to run the visual client too which is universal.
You will also need to ensure that your bot knows the CGOS rules -
chinese scoring, 2 passes ends the game and all stones are considered
alive. If your opponent has dead stones your program must clean up
and play it out before passing or you will lose games needlessly. Pay
attention to positional superko and suicide is not allowed.
Once you have the run-time you can get the generic cgos3.tcl client
which attaches to the server as well as to your engine.
I will be happy to help you along the way.
I would start here, by getting the appropriate tclkit for your platform:

Then go to http://cgos.boardspace.net/index.html and get the
neccessary clients. You must also be sure and read the instructions
for connecting to 19x19 server.
