To install oCaml go to:

http://caml.inria.fr/pub/distrib/ocaml-3.10/

Grab the appropriate disc image. If you are running on a PPC machine  
grab

ocaml-3.10.2-ppc.dmg

If you are running on an Intel machine try:

ocaml-3.10.2-intel.dmg

Open the package and run the installer. This should put ocaml in the  
canonical location. Then, and only then, you can install HeVeA.

I am not sure of your familiarity with the command line, given your  
question about make and sudo make install, so I may be giving much  
too detailed instructions. If that is the case, please forgive the  
details...

1) open a terminal window
2) cd to the directory that contains the download
3) gnutar -xvzf hevea-1.10.tar.gz (this will unpack the hevea source  
code)
4) cd hevea-1.10
5) make
6) wait for it to finish
7) sudo make install (you must invoke sudo as you will be putting  
things where only root is allowed to put things and sudo is a pseudo  
root (temporary) user)
8) when it is done you should have a working installation of hevea
9) type which hevea to find out where it is.. (it should be in /usr/ 
local/bin make sure /usr/local/bin  is in your path)
