I seem to have been able to get 5.7 running on OSX, but there are a few quirks with the display manager. I am trying to display some layers that I have added to the display manager, but when I try to display them I get the following:
channel "console1" wasn't opened for writing
while executing
"exec d.erase >@stdout 2>@stdout"
("eval" body line 1)
invoked from within
"eval "exec $cmd >@stdout 2>@stdout""
(procedure "Dm::execute" line 12)
invoked from within
"Dm::execute "d.erase""
(procedure "Dm::display" line 4)
invoked from within
"Dm::display"
("uplevel" body line 1)
invoked from within
"uplevel \#0 $cmd"
(procedure "Button::_release" line 18)
invoked from within
"Button::_release .mainframe.topf.tb0.bbox1.b0"
(command bound to event)
I have tried this with and without a monitor running, to no avail. Any ideas anyone?

Previous occurrences of this error message have been traced to the use
of the native MacOSX version of Tcl/Tk rather than a Unix/X11 version.
I suggest editing $GISBASE/scripts/d.m to run d.m.tcl using a specific
wish executable, i.e. changing:
sh $GISBASE/etc/dm/d.m.tcl
to e.g.:
/usr/bin/wish $GISBASE/etc/dm/d.m.tcl

Should $GRASS_WISH be used instead?

d.dm.tcl does use GRASS_WISH:
#!/bin/sh
# the next line restarts using wish \
exec $GRASS_WISH "$0" "$@"
However, that requires that GRASS_WISH is set correctly.
Also, for the purposes of starting tcltkgrass, Init.sh expects
GRASS_WISH to be a simple filename, not a pathname. Consequently, it's
only useful if the different versions of wish have different names
(e.g. wish8.3 vs wish).
I suggest changing Init.sh to allow GRASS_WISH to be a full pathname.
Also, I don't see much point implementing d.dm.tcl as a "polyglot"
(both a valid Tcl script and a valid shell script); the d.dm script
should just run it via wish, i.e.
exec "$GRASS_WISH" "$GISBASE/etc/dm/d.m.tcl"
[It should use "exec" to avoid having the extra process.]
