Cool. Well done! :-)

You can download the framework from
http://aqua.scribus.net/AFPL-Ghostscript-8.54.tar.bz2

It goes into /Library, so after installation you should have a folder
/Library/Ghostscript.framework.

If Scribus still complains, go to Preferences, External Tools and enter the
following path for Ghostscript:
/Library/Ghostscript.framework/bin/gsc

After that all should work. Btw, you can not move Ghostscript to another
place since it then stops working.
