Yes, there is, see:

The OSX versions on our wiki are currently all out-of-date since the
machines which compile the sources for OSX aren't currently available.

Those are three virtual machines running MacOS X 10.5 (for the ppc
build) and MacOS X 10.6 (for the i386 and x86_64 builds) running
on VMWare ESX Server. The ESX server was recently upgraded and
the virtual machines currently don't have networking as result
of the upgrade. This will be hopefully fixed soon.

In the mean time, OSX users will have to compile the sources themselves
or ask me very kindly to do a manual build for them, even though
I probably can't build for anything but OSX 10.9 at the moment.

I'm sorry for the issues, but I can't fix the ESX server myself,
my colleague has to do that.

Good. Test as much as possible.

PS: Please don't hi-jack unrelated threads to the mailing list. I have
    started a new thread for your topic now.
