Change the nxauth location from $NX_SYSTEM/bin/nxauth to $NX_SYSTEM/nxauth on Mac OS X. This way, nxauth can be shipped in the same directory, as, i.e., nxproxy in an application bundle.

Oops, don't apply that. v2 patch is incoming. Haven't seen the file extension was missing all along...

do you need nxauth for client-side X2Go on Mac? Currently, nxauth only
builds with the server-side nx-libs build (nx-libs-full). Or am I
missing something?

nxauth is used as the local/client side X server authentication program (basically getting the auth cookie) on both Windows and Mac OS X, instead of xauth, by nxproxy. nxproxy *can* work without it by generating fake cookies, but I found it much more reliable with nxauth (and for what it's worth, on 10.4 using nxauth seems to be mandatory to connect to the X server.)
Yeah, sadly, nxauth builds within nx-X11 which is the "full" X server, but building it, pulling the binary + libNX_Xau.dylib out and redistributing is not a big deal.
