The good news is, despite 10.4.11 (Tiger) being officially unsupported, SI have fixed the startup issue and created a 9.1.1 patch which is now available. 10.4.11 (Tiger) users applying this patch will again be able to play the game.

Important
This update will only affect 10.4 (Tiger) users – 10.5 (Leopard) users will see no difference so need not apply this update, however doing so will not harm your installation.
SI and SEGA would like to wholeheartedly apologise for this unfortunate chain of events and the angst it has caused.
Additionally, they would like to confirm that the graphical options remain unchanged in this patch, however they are hard at work to improve these in subsequent patches. This patch will not enable PowerPC Macs of either 10.4 or 10.5 to run the game, an Intel CPU is required.
*Update*
Some additional info regarding the FM and WSM eSellerate versions - these will be made available before Christmas and will be created from the 9.2.0 codebase.
Also SI wants to re-confirm that FM2009 will not run on PowerPC Macs of any OS.
