Hi Jonathan

Welcome!
Well, currently there are no plans to build a .pkg file for OSX, as non 
of us use OSX. But we have nothing against to make guitarix compatible 
with OSX.
Here is the topic from the last OSX build from guitarix were [3] was 
solved. Maybe you can use it as a starting point.

We are willing to accept patches to add cross-compile ability to 
guitarix if you provide them.
