Although I've never used OS X, I hope the following might be
applicable.

You say you can start Emacs just fine.  If so, you should be able to
type "M-x ielm". This gives you a new buffer that looks like so

|*** Welcome to IELM ***  Type (describe-mode) for help.
|ELISP> 

You can type the following at the prompt:

|ELISP> (expand-file-name "~/.emacs")
|"/home/vadim/.emacs"

This should, in theory, give you the path to your .emacs file.  You
can also visit this file by doing "C-x C-f" followed by "~/.emacs"
(without the quotes).

Anywhere on the load-path.  To see what your current load-path looks
like, type in the following at the IELM prompt:

|ELISP> load-path
| [.... mine is too long to show ....]


If none of the current locations suit you, you can create your own and
add it to the load-path by adding appropriate elisp incantations to
your ~/.emacs file.  For details, see
