From the bootstrap directory (as root) I was able to use

sh ./upgrade-db.sh 14 15

to get v14 to v15 database updated from the server package released with client 0.9.2 as follows (thanks!)

my original PATH was

/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin

export PATH=$PATH:/Library/PostgreSQL/8.4/bin/
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/lib/postgresql84/bin
