Bit late but for anyone else looking the emulator doesn't work on a Mac, you need to test on a physical device: http://us.blackberry.com/developers/javaappdev/macosx.jsp "Testing and Debugging
To test your application on a Mac environment, you’ll need to use a physical BlackBerry smartphone tethered to your computer and debug files that match the BlackBerry smartphone OS. Download debug files for Mac-based development tools."
You could install Windows on VirtualBox or some other virtualization tool and setup eclipse and the plugin there.

If it's something you will be doing often, sign up for a testing site like crossbrowsertesting.com, they have a decent emulator for Blackberry amongst all other commmon devices and your standard QA testing environments for desktop websites.
The blackberry emulator is a tad buggy though but its enough to get you going.
