OS X uses NetInfo to handle stuff like hosts files (something it
inherited from NeXTSTEP).  You should be able to add hosts by starting
up the NetInfo Manager (under /Applications/Utilities) and duplicating
one of the entries under the "machines" directory, changing the values
for the properties (ip_address and name) as appropriate.
