I'm quite sure ps2pdf is part of GhostScript. GhostScript is free.
Installing GhostScript and installing TeXShop - a still easier alternate as Alfredo mentioned, but less programmatic - are very similar. Actually if you don't know how to install GhostScript just type "texshop" in Google and follow the first link.
Note about ps2pdf's manual: OMM, to display ps2pdf's man, I have to run in Terminal:
-----------------------
man -M /usr/local/man ps2pdf
