Okay, I think I have this down. While this may not be the prettiest installer, it does work (for me at least...) It is a shell script, and is pasted below.

0. Disconect all Xbox 360 controllers and receivers.
1. Copy and paste this into TextEdit and save as 360ControllerInstall.sh in the Desktop.
2. Open Terminal.app
3. In the Terminal, type
cd Desktop (press return)
sudo sh 360ControllerInstall.sh (press return)
4. It will now ask you for an administrator password. Type it and press return.
5. The installer will run. Wait at least three minutes after it completes.
6. Connect a wired controller or a wireless one via the receiver.
7. Open the "Xbox 360 Controllers" preference pane in System Preferences and verify that the controller(s) is(/are) recognized.
If the controllers are not recognized, wait a little longer and try again. If it doesn't work after that, try rebooting.
Mac OS X may occasionally complain that the kernel extension is incompatible. Ignore this, as it should work properly.
If it doesn't work at all, post the 360ControllerDiag.txt that the installer generates as well as the Terminal output.
UPDATE: If you don't want to go through this setup, it appears that the developer will be updating the drivers to officially support Snow Leopard.

If you've e-mailed I'll try to reply, but I've had lots. I'll get a Snow Leopard-compatible version of the driver released just as soon as I've managed to install it (hampered due to lack of disk space).
