I am sorry to see that LovelyDwarf had a problem with the Mac version of the launcher. I can extract the archive and use the launcher myself on my Mac.

I put together an updated version of forge using r6469. I first TAR'ed it and then I BZIP2'ed the archive. I can extract this archive and I can run forge r6469 using the included Mac launcher.
This may work. LovelyDwarf, can you try this version out and see if the launcher in this archive works for you? If it does not, then the file permissions refered to by Fnoed may be unique to each Mac somehow. I am not sure how this will work out but it is worth testing.

The link to:
forge-r6469.bz2The included readme file states:
This test version of forge is based on rev 6469 which can be found on the SVN. This version is a minor update to the forge 02-14-2011 beta release. There are several new cards and some bug fixes.
The main purpose of this test version is to see if all three OS' (Windows, Mac OS
X and *nix) have functional launchers at this time. We have changed the archiving format to .tar.bz2 since this may help to store the file permissions for the Mac OS
X launcher.
The Windows launcher in this version does not require you to rename the forge JAR file to work properly. Please keep the forge JAR file name set to "run-forge.jar".
The dev team would appreciate it if the user base could test the three launchers for us and then let us know if it worked for you or not. Thank you for your assistance. Oh, as a reward, enjoy the new cards and bug fixes that come with this test version.
