The Mac OS X client for Bacula should be a standard Mac OS X package -- a xxx.dmg file. Anything that is a tar or other form is not very professional. I am not sure what homebrew supplies, but if they have done it right it is a .dmg.
The instructions for building it yourself on a Mac are in the Bacula source distribution in: <bacula>/platforms/osx/README Once you have the developer tools installed, it is a "piece of cake".
