It is the wrong place, but it's simple, so here you go.

# echo 192.168.0.3   www.domain.com >> /etc/hosts

This might not work depending on the settings of your resolver 
libraries, but it's fairly standard across Unix-like platforms so it 
should work.

"man 5 resolver" or "man resolv.conf" might have more information. I 
have no real experience with OS X, so keep that in mind. If this 
doesn't do what you were wanting to do, you should perhaps follow up in 
a forum specific to OS X.
