Naiara,
It is possible to install proj and GDAL on Mac OSX using the open
source package manager fink:
http://www.finkproject.org/
The finkcommander GUI application makes specifying and installing
packages fairly painless. You may need to set fink to use "unstable"
distributions to get the most recent releases.
I hope this helps,
Dave
Fink installs packages in /sw, so you will need to add /sw/bin to
your path.
