No.  you need nothing else but what is in the binary to run Xastir.   
Well, you do have to have X11 installed but I think you do as Xastir  
will not run without it.

If you want to want to compile from source you will have to install a  
package manager such as Fink or MacPorts.  Instructions are covered  
in the Xastir wiki and on my website.  The binary will do nothing for  
you.  If you want to install from source and it may be best to just  
delete everything in /opt/local before attempting to build.  The  
latest binary version (1.8.5) will give you the option to install  
everything (libraries and includes) and will give you the ability to  
rebuild the source locally.
