There's the Netinfo Manager application in Applications/Utilities. It's an 
odd, long-neglected application, but it is handy for small edits of 
existing domains. It can't set up new domains.

Beyond that, you'll have to use the command-line tools. Say "man netinfo" 
in Terminal. (There may be third-party utilities, too. Netinfo stems from 
the NeXT days, so it's been around a long time.)
