No.  If you use the graphical installer, then you can access the
command-line tools like this:

source /Applications/PHENIX-dev-1435/Contents/phenix-dev-1435/phenix_env.sh

(assuming you're using Bash like most Mac users, otherwise remove
".sh" for [t]csh)

If you use the command-line installer instead, it should make an
iconified launcher for the GUI as well, otherwise the "phenix" command
will start that.  But I would just use the graphical one; I will
investigate modifying this so it is clearer what to do.

Which command-line only options do you want to use?  Nearly all of
these should be in the GUI too - the exception is a few smaller and/or
newer utilities which I haven't had time or inclination to add yet.
Any feature in the programs which already have a GUI should be in
there already, just maybe not so obvious.
