Looks like those instructions need to be fixed.

The file dmd.conf is expecting to live in the same directory as the DMD 
executable (ie, "{wherever you unzipped DMD}/osx/bin/" ). Deleting it out of 
/etc/ should work. Or, if you really wanted, you could edit it (it's a 
pretty simple text file) and change the paths to point to the right places 
(Just replace "%@P%" with ""{wherever you unzipped DMD}/osx/bin/")

BTW, these sorts of things are probably best asked over in 
"digitalmars.D.learn".
