FWIW, on Mac OS X Firebird only ships a libfbclient.dylib (no libfbclient.2.dylib -- on Mac OS X, the version number is placed before the shared library extension rather than after it). The reason is probably the library is not shipped with Mac OS X by default, so you have to embed the library/framework into your application bundle anyway and then you know which version you use).
