I compile Xastir with nearly all of the options available.  The only ones I don't compile with are Festival and gpsman because neither are appropriate for the Mac platform.  The libraries that are necessary are are shipped as part of the package, and nothing needs to be installed beyond just dropping the executable in place (it even uses an internal version of libcurl to make sure there are no compatibility problems between the system version and the one necessary for xastir).
