It looks like the functionality you seek was abandoned when the script was rewritten, probably because it is a rare use case. I suspect a patch to add it back in would be accepted as long as it doesn't break anything. It would need to have a clear message for the normal users: "KK7DS Runtime not found. Do you want to install it, or use your own?".
Also, the OS X app is pending a rewrite that will get rid of the runtime altogether, but I believe Dan is waiting on a Mac-savvy developer to write it. Any patch you submit for the existing script might not be around very long (probably still worthwhile--I don't hold my breath for promised rewrites!).
Thanks Tom. Looks like it was in preparation for the removal of X11... though the app is still running in X11 right now. I can just continue hacking it I guess. Interestingly, with my hack, it opens fine with "open chirp.app" but doesn't work double-clicking in the Mac Finder. Interesting.
I'll leave it alone for now and see how the future comes along. :)
