(disclaimer: never used Orange, don't really know much about it)  
OrangeWidgets is dependent on PyQt.. I don't know if you need that for  
it to be useful though, but PyQt definitely does not exist for Qt/Mac

As far as locating site-packages programmatically goes..

[crack:~] bob% python -c "import distutils.sysconfig;print  
distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib()"
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/site- 
packages
