To install Papyrus for the Macintosh, download and decompress the 
application itself from 
<http://www.researchsoftwaredesign.com/Download8.html>, and the help 
files, various manuals, and format libraries from 
<http://www.researchsoftwaredesign.com/Download8.html>.

Put the application and the "Papyrus Help" folder into a single 
folder, as indicated in Chapter 1 of the Papyrus Reference manual. 
You can place the manuals and format libraries into the same folder, 
or wherever you prefer.

Launch Papyrus (Chapter 2 of the Reference manual) and create a fresh 
Papyrus database as described in Chapter 1 of the Workbook manual.

The instructions for transferring your existing Papyrus references 
from your PC to your Mac are in Chapter 29 of the Workbook manual.

(Papyrus doesn't use Quicktime in any way that I can think of, and 
shouldn't care which version of Quicktime you happen to have 
installed.)
