Which version of 'the rjags package' and where did you get it from?
I have 2.1.0-6, installed as a binary from CRAN, and I see

tystie% otool -L rjags.so
rjags.so:
 	rjags.so (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0)
 	/usr/local/lib/libjags.2.dylib (compatibility version 3.0.0, current version 3.1.0)

so that is not the version you have (which is looking for 
/usr/local/lib/libjags.1.dylib).

My guess is that you have rjags_1.0.x.

Re-install rjags, maybe via update.packages() or the Package Installer 
menu item if you use R.app?
