Derek,There are a few programs I use a lot to do what you want to do PDF-shuffler [1], pdfsam [2] and PDFtk [3].
PDF-shuffler is by far the easiest to use. PDF-Shuffler actually renders each page for you and allows you to drag and drop the pages to different locations in the file. It does run with python so should theoretically be able to be installed and run on Mac. I can see some precompiled versions [4, 5] on google that you may want to give a try.
pdfsam is good but limited in what you can do. That is only split and merge files. You can explode pdfs then merge individual pages but it is all done using file names, i.e. you can't 'see' what you are doing.
pdftk essentially gives you everything you need to access the pdf libraries it uses from the command line (i.e. bash terminal). You can easily join, split, encrypt any PDF files but again you can't 'see' what you are doing.
My current workflow is to manipulate the PDF using PDF-Shuffler then encrypt using pdftk.
