There is a chance but I don't know how soon this will happen.

The main reason behind the reluctance to do this is because of the
extra effort each OS-specific package brings on the core Rabbit team
(i.e. doing it, testing it and maintaining it over time) - we would
*prefer* to allocate resources to developing new functionality in the
server.

Hence I did ask a while back if there is anybody in the community who
would like to take on the honour of packaging Rabbit for their
favorite OS and package manager -
http://lists.rabbitmq.com/pipermail/rabbitmq-discuss/2008-November/002251.html

For example, Phillip Neumann maintains a BSD port of Rabbit
(http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=rabbitmq&stype=all) on his
own initiative.

And Aman Gupta maintains a package for Arch Linux:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19090

So hopefully somebody in the OSX community might feel like taking this on.

HTH,

Ben
