Did you try to just compile it on OSX?
I see it depends on guile-2.0 (that might be a conflict with LilyPond, but you
can probably have several versions installed) and ALSA (which is also not
available on MacPorts, and I don’t know if it would work on OSX, since it
probably conflicts with the sound drivers of macOS).
I guess an additional problem might be that Apple severely restricts hardware
access, e.g. I can’t access USB-Serial for programming microcontrollers,
because Apple only allows signed drivers on current systems, even while there’s
no driver necessary. Don’t know if that applies to ALSA or USB-MIDI, but I
suppose.
