I recently got a new work machine with mac os x 10.7. Already having visions of last summer when I had a laptop with 10.5 and a desktop with 10.6. We'll see how this goes... My first issue is a simple one. I installed mosek and as per the instructions I changed the ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist file to contain:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
	<key>DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH</key>
	<string>/usr/local/mosek/6/tools/platform/osx64x86/bin:/usr/local/mosek/6/tools/platform/osx32x86/bin:/usr/local/cuda/lib</string>
	<key>GL_ENABLE_DEBUG_ATTACH</key>
	<string>YES</string>
	<key>MOSEKLM_LICENSE_FILE</key>
	<string>/usr/local/mosek/6/licenses/mosek.lic</string>
</dict>
</plist>

But when I restarted matlab and issued

mosekopt

I saw that it was not finding the mosek binaries correctly:

??? Invalid MEX-file '/opt/local/mosek/6/toolbox/r2009b/mosekopt.mexmaci64':
dlopen(/opt/local/mosek/6/toolbox/r2009b/mosekopt.mexmaci64, 1): Library not loaded:
libmosek64.6.0.dylib
  Referenced from: /opt/local/mosek/6/toolbox/r2009b/mosekopt.mexmaci64
  Reason: image not found

The solution: Log out and back in.
