I kept trying to open TSV (tab separated values) files in NeoOffice or OpenOffice, but they open those files by default in Writer as a document instead of a spreadsheet. Since I just want to view the TSV files to verify they're formatted correctly from my various programming projects, I wanted a simple TSV viewer.
There are plenty of software options that offer *demos* but I found ViewCSVTAB that is listed on Macupdate as freeware. The problem with TSV files is that ViewCSVTAB thinks it should parse .txt files as .tsv. Since I don't want to change my file names every time to get them checked in ViewCSVTAB, I used vi to hack the source and change instances of txt to tsv. Now the attached version will allow you to select .tsv files as the TAB file to parse and preview.
For CSV files, this doesn't interpret or strip quotes from around values in quoted CSV files. It strictly replaces commas as columns.

Drupal 6 probably won't ever work right on PHP 5.3.0, which is what Snow Leopard packs by default. My feeling is that since Ubuntu LTS still runs PHP 5.2, Drupal 7 won't work at production level on PHP 5.3.0 either. For that reason, here is my PHP 5.2.10 install instructions for Snow Leopard. It will trash your built-in Snow Leopard install.
For my own selfish reasons, in case I want 5.3.0 back later, here is the configuration line from phpinfo() in the default install of 5.3.0 in Snow Leopard.

Install the latest JPEG library.
Install latest libmcrypt.
Install MySQL 5.0.
Yes, I realize the database isn't the latest version, but it meshes with Ubuntu LTS for the moment.

This is what Rebeeca added to a docblock in my local copy of the db_maintenance module for Drupal. It started as "* Implement hook_help()."
