Just set up a zone using whatever tool you are using and make sure to add an authority record for your fake Top Level Domain (TLD). You will have to make sure that your resolving DNS cache knows to lookup the records from your authoritative DNS server (and not the root servers). Again, dnscache (from the djbdns tools) makes this very easy. I don't see any reason why those tools shouldn't compile under OS/X I would actually recommend using .test as the fake TLD (.local sounds to close to .localhost). I actually have .internal (for our internal network) and .test (for our dev web server pages). This allows me to selfsign SSL certs in the ..test TLD so I can do full testing of all sites.
