You could perhaps use jackd in JACK for OS X to route the Audacity
track playback to a suitable real-time compressor, twiddle the knobs
on the effect and send the audio back to Audacity. 

This should work with a real-time VST host and I believe LV2 host,
then you could apply the desired settings in the host to the same 
plug-in running in Audacity.
