Our Mac CouchDBX distribution (http://www.couchone.com/get#mac) is a Cocoa application that bundles CouchDB. For this purpose, CouchDB and all its dependencies are compiled into a single folder in the Resources folder of the application package. Getting the details of all this right is a bit complicated, so I wrote a script (yay me): https://github.com/janl/couchdbx-core
When you start in the folder with the folder, you can get into the "Resources" folder. See https://github.com/janl/couchdbx-app for running CouchDB from inside Cocoa.
