Does anyone know how to install pecl for mac os x 10.6. I have tried googling with no luck.

PECL should ship with PHP on OSX 10.6. If not, it may be a part if the development libraries packaged with OSX's install disc. You can identify if it's installed by typing the following in your Terminal.app (should return a path).
which pecl
If your unable to find PECL
Sometimes it's easier to re-install PHP. Look into macports, or homebrew. Both package managers ship the latest PHP5 (including PECL).
Verify PECL is working
Updated your local database with the latest packages, and install a simple package (like bbcode.)
sudo pecl channel-update pecl.php.net
sudo pecl install bbcode
Install a PECL package without PECL
This is hit-n-miss depending on the package. To install a PECL package manully, you would follow the traditional ./configure, make, and make install process.
# Download the package
curl -O http://pecl.php.net/get/bbcode-1.0.3b1.tgz
# Extract archive
tar zvxf bbcode-1.0.3b1.tgz
# Change directory
cd bbcode-1.0.3b1
# Apply local php settings
phpize
# Run configuration script
./configure
# Compile
make
# Verify build
make test
# Install on system
sudo make install

You are getting PHP errors, and I believe those are coming directly from PEAR itself, not the extension you are trying to download.
You could always try installing the extension manually.
