LAM 7.0.x will not work with OS X and Myrinet, due to some oddities in
their linker. We believe we have these fixed in 7.1 (due out in beta
really soon now), but do not have a real cluster to test with (at best,
we will have two G5s connected with a point-to-point connection).

Not exactly the answer you were looking for, but best I can offer.
