I'm very much in doubt that this all will work:
The yasr.tar file is for Linux and it expects to find all the needed
packages and the Linux file/directory structure. 
On Mac everything is different. And moreover: are you sure that all
needed packages exist for Mac?
If Yasr will work at all, you need a Mac specific package, that's ending
is .dmg. It's precompiled, and it fits into a Mac structure.
If you really don't like Mac and prefer Linux, why not testing a real
one, such as:
http://grml.org/
It's a text based Linux that comes with Brltty, Yasr and Speakup out of
the box.
And btw: It runs on a simple PC, that is much cheaper than a Mac.
The CD you can download can be used in live mode, e.g. you can test it
without installing. If you like it, there are several ways to install
it.
