MacTeX comes with the Fourier font and the fourier.sty LaTeX package,  
so you don't need to do anything to use them.

I just switched from an older version of gwtex (installed via i- 
Installer) to MacTex, and I have a few nonstandard fonts in my ~/ 
Library/texmf tree. Getting them to work with MacTex required three  
steps:

1. Move the .map files to the new standard location, ~/Library/texmf/ 
fonts/map/dvips/misc/
2. For each font, add a line that looks like "Map fname.map" to
     ~/.texlive2007/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg
3. Run "sudo updmap"
