I couldn't see a pre built binary for OSX anywhere so I just tried out the OS/X support and build instructions on Mountain Lion and thought I might share my findings.

(I'm a PS3 Showtime user but am pondering writing a plugin and thought it easier to do if I have Showtime on my mac)

https://github.com/andoma/showtime

1) Cloned the Showtime repository with the GitHub app
2) Installed the latest Xcode
3) Installed Macports and pkg-config

./configure failed with libav complaining on yasm:

[...]

So my step four was

4) Disabling yasm in configure.osx: LIBAV_ARCH_FLAGS="--disable-shared --enable-static --disable-yasm"
5) ./configure
6) make

After this I can start Showtime:

[...]

("open build.osx/Showtime.app" only results in a black screen)

... and that's it. I haven't investigated how crippled libav is nor looked into the app loading issue since this is all I needed to start plugin development.

FWIW

Crippled just means that it's a lot slower. But for plugin development it wont matter that much.

But I think yasm is available in brew.

I have yasm on mountain lion, just installed with macports
showtime works very well on osx

If built without yasm libav will skip most of its x86 ASM optimizations so media decoding will be slower.
