That sounds like a very interesting project. I really wish I had the time and skills to help you with it, but at present I don't.
It might not be as difficult as you think. The Mr Dyno connects to the serial port, so it might just be a case of opening /dev/ttyS1 (or whatever) as a file and then reading/writing data to it.
I would think that a command-line application to issue a few commands, and read the data returned would be a piece of cake. Any C programmer could do this without needing to be a Mac expert.
The most difficult bit might be writing the GUI front end to display the data. Easiest option would be to store the data in a CSV text file, import into a spreadsheet and use the spreadsheet's graph drawing functions.
Alternatively just spend $10 on a 5 year old PC and use the supplied software.
Phil.
