I have no problems going through the tutorial (and creating my own apps) on my mac. Are you using the development server to do all of this? I could see where you'd have the problems you are having if you are trying this all through apache/mod_python. How did you install django? from source? I don't know if there is a darwinports or a fink package out there. The way I installed django on my mac (running leopard) was like this:
cd /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages sudo |svn co http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk/django django I never had to do anything like manually configure the admin TEMPLATE_DIRS. I am using the development version, and I haven't been around long enough to know for sure, but you may be experiencing a bug related to django-0.96/mac. You do need to map a URL for the admin media url in a production server--like apache. On my production server, I haven't bothered to get it working, so my admin interface is very boring and plain looking, but I don't really use it anyway. On the django built-in development server it should just work. Good Luck!
