There are a couple of places this can be done. One way would be to modify the init.m file located in the Configuration/Kernel/ directory that can be accessed by Contol clicking on the Mathematica icon and selecting Show Package Contents. This is the solution I've used in my setup. Alternatively, you could put them in the AddOns/AutoLoad directory also found by Control clicking on the Mathematica icon Note changes made to these directories will affect all users of Mathematica on that Mac. If you are the only user of the Mac, then there is no issue. OTOH, if there are multiple users and you want to customize the startup for each, then you need to put the files in the appropriate sub directory of ~/Library/Mathematica/
