For conversion to pdf it does until someone has the will and time to
finish the native pdf renderer.

Yep, that sucks. I think the easiest and cleanest way is to use
macports. Install it, then type in a terminal

sudo port install ghostscript

You'll have gs installed in /opt/local/bin (might need to add that to
your path, I don't remember if macports does that by default)

If you use ps2pdf, yes, but some other features (related to image
support) also use gs, so you are better off simply installing
macports. It's really easy and uninstalling is completely clean.

Best,
