Wait a moment, if X11 is installed on OSX, xset does exist, of course
.
If you are talking about the native Qt/Mac version of Scribus, then you 
are right, xset doesn't exist, but font management is only one of 
several things that don't yet work, AFAICT.

Here is the Fontpath part of `xset -q` on Mac OSX 10.2.6 with X11 and a 
couple of Fink font packages installed:

Font Path:
 
/sw/lib/X11/fonts/msttf/,/sw/lib/X11/fonts/applettf/,/sw/lib/X11/fonts/ghostscript/Type1/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/

The Fink packages in question are (besides scribus-1.0.1, of course):

% fink list -i font

available to X11R6

  i   msttcorefonts            1.2-2        Microsoft's TrueType core 
fonts for the web
  i   ttfmkfontdir             1.0-2        Make fonts.dir for TrueType

  i   x-ghostscript-fonts      20020206-3   Allows ghostscript fonts to 
be used within X-windows
  i   xfontpath                0.4-2        X font path manager for fink

BTW, the python scripting plugin is working on OSX, too (with the 
python2.2 package from Fink).
