Install macports ( https://trac.macports.org/wiki/InstallingMacPorts ) (Xcode is installable through the App store nowadays).
Install wine & cabextract through Macports by running the following commands in a terminal
Still in a terminal, move to the directory where wine got installed and use winetricks to install a bunch of libraries
If you run the game and you get errors about directx you can try the following
If you get errors relating to xml:
run winecfg from a terminal
Set windows version to XP
Go to the tab Libraries
Add new overrides (native) for msxml3, d3dx9_26, d3dx9_31, d3dx9_36
Go to the tab Graphics
Make sure to check 'Emulate a virtual desktop' (I couldn't get it to work decently otherwise, might be different under Lion though as it has better support for fullscreen apps); pick a resolution to you liking.
I went to stations and added my download folder as a station to make it easier to find my save files.
Now onto installing Civ4
Insert the CD/DVD (I have Civ4Complete so I only had one installer to run).
Using the terminal, navigate to the CD/DVD (cd /Volumes/CIV4_COMPLETE/ in my case)
Run the installer
Download the 3.19 patch and navigate to it using the terminal
Install the patch
Download Buffy and navigate to it using the terminal; install it
Run the program
A directory called My Games is can now be found on your drive (in Users/USERNAME/) where you can find a 'Beyond the Sword' folder which should contain your .ini file where you can change the autosave interval (among other things).
Hope this helps, it has been a while since I've installed it myself, but I don't think I've missed any steps. Still, if you run into trouble, just ask and I'll try to help you out.
