This is easy for Mklist.app 0.1 -- just launch the app, and select "Create Menu,
Then Quit" from the File menu. (In 0.2, that should say "Create List, Then
Quit" -- as the human factors department will hopefully not have had a martini
with dinner next time.) That creates a list sorted by part name in the ldraw
directory, which the app picks up off of the LDRAWDIR environment variable.

That's right -- the OS X command line instructions would be similar to the
DOS/Windows instructions except for ldraw directory and mklist executable
locations, and the app, such as it is, handles that stuff on its own.
