I would prefer users not have to set this in their simulation files.
This is something that should work correctly with a normal install.
Customizing ngspice config settings in a simulation file is fine for
advanced uses who know what they are doing.

I don't know if the osx package manager has any tools for creating text
files at install time if the install path is changed by the user. I'm
not sure if sed is installed on osx by default. If it is, the osx
install could run a post install script to update the spinit file
accordingly.
