I'm going to assume that ./rtems-4.8.0/configure is just a typo, and 
that the actual command was ../rtems-4.8.0/configure

/tmp/trial/bin should contain your cross-platform tools 
(powerpc-rtems4.8-gcc, powerpc-rtems4.8-ld, etc)

I use a mac also. However, I build rtems (+ tools) for the i386 BSP and 
my install directory looks like this:
    chabotd at opi2043-001-->ls -F /opt/rtems/
    bin/  i386-rtems/  include/  info/  lib/  libexec/  make/  man/  share/

If the construction of your cross-platform toolchain didn't produce a 
similar structure, then that's the step(s) you probably need to revisit.
