Q: Starting GRASS GIS on MacOSX, I get "bad cpu type in executable"

A: It looks like a macports problem (maybe homebrew also uses /opt/local?) with their Python. A guess is that their python is 64bit-only, and GRASS is trying to run python 32bit because it couldn't find a 64bit wxpython because 64bit wxpython isn't existing yet in the stable release.
Work-around: Edit the file ".bash_profile" in your HOME directory and add therein: 

export GRASS_PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2.6
export GRASS_PYTHONWX=/usr/bin/pythonw2.6
