New description:

 Mac OS X has it's own directory structure. Therefore, I would like to
 propose a slight change of directories for tor on Mac OS X:
 /Library/Tor -> /Library/Application Support/Tor
 $Home/.tor -> /Library/Tor/Application Support/Data
 It is not ciritical, but for mac user easier to find and there will be one
 directory only.

Comment:

 Tor would need to be osx aware and use various API calls to change datadir
 to be more maclike.  Vidalia handles this well enough for now with
 ~/Library/Vidalia.
