While this should work it simply removes the feature :-)

I did some tests. On Mac 10.4 the line works same as in Linux.

However you need to reorder it.

instead of su -c "psql foo" -l postgres like in Linux

one needs 

su -l postgres -c "psql foo"

In my case psql is not in the path so giving just psql won't work either.

I have yet to find a way to restore the feature by maybe using sudo since 
Apple in all its wisdom decided be there no more '-c' for su.
