No, but that is why I merging those two approaches would give best of 
both worlds.

I updated the plugin and I can see the node and npm binaries are not 
executable
so I get an error like:

Cannot run program 
"/Users/max/products/eclipse/luna/eclipse/plugins/tern.eclipse.ide.server.nodejs.embed.macosx.cocoa.x86_64_1.0.0.201402271715/nodejs/node-v0.10.22-macosx-x86_64/bin/node" 
(in directory "/Users/max/Documents/workspace-luna3/dfdf"): error=13, 
Permission denied

When I chmod +X those files it seem to start working.

noo - not necessary. You can mark a bundle to just apply to a specific 
OS via Eclipse-PlatformFilter

See 
https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-xulrunner/blob/master/plugins/org.mozilla.xulrunner.gtk.linux.x86/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF#L9 
as an example.

I would suggest making the feature default require these plugins so any 
install by default would work.

Is there an issue for this somewhere ?
