After creating the file, restarting my session, and firing up X11/ Inkscape, I get two things:

Sounds good.
Minor note, environment variables don't really have default values. Rather programs interpret the variables and if they are missing the program will use its defaults.
- Sadly, an Inkscape UI that's still in English
Any ideas?
Is there a possibility that I somehow need to take some actions to make Inkscape "recognize/find" the French "inkscape.mo" file?
Do you get any messages when you start Inkscape (in a terminal emulator like xterm)? I've just tried to get Inkscape running in a different locale (under Debian GNU/Linux) and it proved to be suitably picky (I think I'm expecting too much).
I had to edit a configuration file (/etc/locale.gen) then run the program locale-gen, but I have a feeling they aren't going to exist on a Mac system. Once I had done that then I could set a French locale and everything worked.
The main thing I had to go by, to figure out if it was working, was that I got a message when it was broken:
(inkscape:28573): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale.
