Great to hear from you and sorry for the trouble.   Yes, the /opt location
is intentional -- this is where the MacPorts project puts files.

FWIW, I can get Athena to run on 10.14.5 (with the edit Bruce linked to),
but it's not always easy to get it installed and working from MacPorts.
Hephaestus seems to run OK.   Both have some quirks with some widgets not
always responding -- knowing the keyboard shortcuts seems to help.  I don't
seem to be able to run Artemis effectively/reliably - some of the widgets
seem to not respond in ways I don't understand.  That may be just me or my
installation.

Based on sampling from a recent summer school, I think most Mac users are
running these programs with Parallels -- the installation is much simpler
and all the apps run well.

I'm trying to encourage people to start migrating from Athena to Larch's
XAS Viewer app --- it is close to a replacement for Athena (and with some
improvements, especially for XANES analysis) and works on a Mac.  It still
has some warts and imperfections, but I'm trying to fix these as quickly as
possible.  Suggestions welcome!   At this point, I don't have anything like
a GUI for Artemis and Feff fitting, but suggestions and/or help for that
would also be most welcome....

Cheers,

--Matt
