Thanks. Were you able to get this working with OpenSceneGraph from homebrew or did you have to compile from source?

I got this working with open-scene-graph 3.1.2 like explained on the wiki (Homebrew with "b595738"). When I compiled it with open-scene-graph 3.2.0, it segfaulted on launch.

We should ask Quentin (@impact27) for more information about compatibility and how to distribute a Mac OS X executable, because it takes a ton of time to compile and he made a graphical user interface.

Experienced Mac devs? That's really nice! We tried to make the Mac port more user friendly this summer without much success. The reason number 1 why we couldn't make nice (? :) ) compiled programs like for Windows is that we had trouble handling shared library dependencies. Anyways, a more user friendly build process would certainly be nice. The problem may be to catch potential issues that may harm the user system, like making sure that there are no interferences between macport and fink, that stuff doesn't get overwritten, and, ideally, that things can be perfectly undone if a conflict is detected somewhere. Maybe a Homebrew package?
