If you're still looking for help, I charge $70 / hour. I'm pretty good with bitcoind (having built multiple instawallets, bitcoin payment processing services, etc), JS (coinchat, blockchain.info my wallet) and security (having found security vulnerabilities on bitcointalk.org, bitfunder, btct.co, and a bunch of smaller sites). I'm pretty sure you'll feel it's worth every penny.
Bitcoind no longer exists on Mac, which is a unix system.
I found out how to turn on bitcoin-qt in server mode.
So I am good. =)
However when I am further along I will ask for a quote on a security penetration test if you are up for it.
