Ok so, I tried to find an answer for my specific question, but I was unable to find anything in the forums.
If somebody knows of an answer please direct me to the answer, thnx.

I have an Intel MacBook Pro and using BootCamp I have OS X 10.5.6 and WinXP Pro setup on the MacBook.

Now DOSBox works great on both OS's and on the Windows side I configured 3 different DOSBox.conf to have Multiple startups, (via shortcuts)
I have an active MS DOS 6.22 (622.conf) boot up, working Win3.11FWG (win31.conf) boot up, and my DOSGames (dosgame.conf) boot up. These Multiple boot ups (as it were) works great.
I used shortcuts to make these diff configs work, but I can't do the same thing on the Mac.

Does anybody know how to do this on the Mac? or at least point the way?

Thnx in advance.

Start a terminal window and write something like

$ /path/to/your/dosbox -conf xxxxxx.conf

Yeah, make that this way:

1.) Open "Terminal.app", which is located at "/Applications/Utilities/"
2.) right-click DOSBox.app, choose "Show package content"
3.) Inside the DOSBox.app, goto the folder "/Contents/MacOS/"
4.) From "/Contents/MacOS/", drag the unix executable file "DOSBox" into the Terminal window.
5.) Add the command "-conf " to the Terminal line (with concluding space char)
5.) Locate the desired config file, drag it into the Terminal window.
6.) Press return to submit this command line.
7.) DOSBox starts with your config file.
