The Mac OS X client for Bacula should be a standard Mac OS X package --
a xxx.dmg file.
Anything that is a tar or other form is not very professional. I am not
sure what homebrew supplies, but if they have done it right it is a .dmg.
The instructions for building it yourself on a Mac are in the Bacula
source distribution in:
<bacula>/platforms/osx/README
Once you have the developer tools installed, it is a "piece of cake".
Best regards,
Kern
