How you proceed will very much depend on your usage aims.

Do you want to use it under X11 or Aqua? Do you want to write your own 
apps that use VTK or do you plan to use another app that relies upon 
VTK? (eg, MayaVi - meaning you need to wrap Tcl and Python, so you need 
X11 versions of these for X11 use, or Aqua Tkinter for Aqua use.)

If you want to do your own programming, using VTK classes, you need to 
decide on Cocoa or Carbon.
(The Cocoa reference given by someone else is a good place to start...)

Once your aims are established, it will be possible to point you in a 
more definite direction.

Bye!
