Your problem is that the version you've got is for Leopard. They're still working on the Mac version.
Your problem is that you've got the version for Leopard (10.5.x), and the Tiger (10.4.x) version is still being worked on.

Take a look here;

Why not get involved? They might need bug testers, etc. I'm a windows user who just got involved a few weeks back and I'm loving it.
Have a read of http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CompilingMacOsX
Also get involved in the Inkscape mailing lists - http://www.inkscape.org/mailing_lists.php?lang=en

Nabble can be useful for just looking at the lists, but if you sign up for nabble and also on the above page, you can send through nabble;

I use this more like a forum.

Cheers,
Rygle

Ok, thanks for the hint. At the time I downloaded that archive the
wording on the download page was "for Tiger and Leopard". This was
changed in the meantime as I saw minutes ago. The Tiger version just
downloades.

This is a packaging issues, but will leave this open for informational purposes.

Seems there's a build up as of this morning.

This has been fixed with the 0.46 Mac releases.

Changing to "Fix Released" so Launchpad counts as closed in stats
