First get XCode Developer tools and X11 installed from you Mac OSX install CD's or the Apple Website.

Handling Dependencies

The easiest way to get all dependencies installed and kept up to date with minimal effort is to use fink. Install Fink as per their websites instructions and then run:

 sudo fink install sdl-image sdl-net sdl-ttf libvorbis libvorbis0 libogg boost1.33 frididi-dev

You should now have all but two of the dependencies (speex and portaudio). Go to the http://www.speex.org/downloads/ and http://www.portaudio.com/download.html pages and grab the latest stable release (1.0.5 for speex and v19_20071207 for portaudio) at the time of writing this). Extract and run for both:

 ./configure && make && sudo make install

Adding PATH's

Open up ~/.profile in your favourite editor, and add at the top of the file:

 export PATH=/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:$PATH

Save ~/.profile, Quit the Terminal.app program, and then restart it. Type

 $PATH

and hit enter, checking to make sure the paths are in place. If so, continue.
