Hmm, it's version 0.27:

$ ./MythFrontend --version
Please attach all output as a file in bug reports.
MythTV Version : v0.27-186-g480589a
MythTV Branch : fixes/0.27
Network Protocol : 77
Library API : 0.27.20140303-1
QT Version : 4.8.5
Options compiled in:
  debug using_corevideo using_backend using_bindings_php using_darwin 
using_firewire using_frontend using_hdhomerun using_ceton 
using_libcrypto using_libdns_sd using_libudf using_mheg using_opengl 
using_opengl_video using_qtwebkit using_qtscript using_taglib 
using_debugtype using_appleremote using_bindings_php using_mythtranscode 
using_opengl using_ffmpeg_threads using_mheg using_libudf

I will see that there is a version 0.27.3 available from: 
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Myth_on_Mac_OS_X#Pre-built_Downloads

I will give that a go and see if mythvideo works with this version :D

Cheers,
Greg
