The output is useful. It does not crash, but rather aborts because the SDL library is not found (and specifically, not found here: /opt/local/lib/libSDL-1.2.0.dylib).

I would call this a packaging problem, the official Mac app bundle contains the SDL framework, and the FS-UAE executable is configured to use the bundled SDL.

In this case, the bundle tries to find SDL where it was installed on the packager's system (from the looks of it, SDL from MacPorts).

The best fix is that the bundle is recreated with the SDL framework bundled.

(Note: part of the FS-UAE build process for creating Mac app bundles is to run the included fix-app.py script, which copies required libraries to the bundle and updates the references in the executable. Perhaps this has not run properly when this app bundle was created).
