It looks like most of the Mac download page is out of date (and largely superseded by this latest package), maybe the running instructions at the bottom are still valid though:

1. In X11, select the Applications -> Customize menu;

2. In the "X11 Application Menu" window that pops up, click the "Add Item" button;

3. In the newly created empty entry to the left, type in "gnubg" in the left column, and in the right column type the commands (separated by semi-colons) you would have typed to run GNU Backgammon for MacOS X from the Terminal window; that is:

cd ~/Applications/gnubg;./gnubg -w

if you installed gnubg in your private Applications folder, or: cd /Applications/gnubg;./gnubg -w

if you installed it in the global (top-level) Applications folder.

Please note the required extra "-w" argument after "./gnubg"

You will then be able to launch GNU Backgammon for MacOS X by merely selecting the "gnubg" item in X11's Applications menu.
