FIrst, thanks for all the great responses, I've got a bunch of ideas how
to procede now. Does anyone out there use the UNIX tool pcb maintained
by Harry Eaton?
http://pcb.sourceforge.net

This is the program that I'm trying to learn with, right now, on Mac OS
X, through the fink package system. Is there a better Mac OS X
compatible program that I should try?

A certain regular poster here is also one of the developers and project
admins of pcb, so it's pretty likely he's used it.

Make up your own mind about better, as I haven't gotten around to
designing anything in both programs yet, but in the tiny world of
engineering software for OS X, I did find one other option : Look at
Osmond. Free for designs up to 700 pins. Pay if you need to do more.

I use it all the time. And I help maintain it, too (although on
Linux, not OS/X)

I have been using Eagle ( cadsoft ) for some years now.
Works perfect under Linux.
While my wife uses a MAC ( OSX ) i tried Eagle there.
The program runs just fine but using it with the MAC-mouse is a curse.

This is propably true for more CAD programs.
Does a 3-button mouse work under MAC ?

Yes. I don't know if it would work the way the program expected (you'd
have to try it and see), but in general, a 3 button mouse does work, and
the one button mouse can mimic more buttons by using option keys on the
keyboard to "modify" the click.
