This does work for a colleague of mine on 10.6.5 and make 3.81 from 
xcode. Oh well.

As Matthew pointed out, there is a rabbit package in macports. And 
homebrew. And if you are not keen on either of these then the generic 
Unix binary 
(http://www.rabbitmq.com/releases/rabbitmq-server/v2.1.1/rabbitmq-server-generic-unix-2.1.1.tar.gz). 
should work just fine. Building from source is really only required if 
you want to modify the code.

Matthias
