Per Gavin Andresen's answer on the first post to which you linked, Bitcoin-Qt for Mac does not ship with bitcoind. However, you can still access it with curl

If you are adamant about using bitcoind
itself, your best bet is to compile your own bitcoind
using my instructions or using the instructions provided in the source distribution of bitcoin.
