That's fine. But, before I go, it's was not even clear there was consensus on what to do, what was desired, and was positing potential alternatives. For all I know, folks would rather have a MacPorts or Homebrew solution and tell the MacOs users "Let them eat bash scripts!". That said, looking at the git zip download, there's most certainly evidence of the ability to create the Mac installers, which was kind of my base puzzle. These existed before, where's the scripts to build it? The actual build scripts I can't find, I don't know if they are on/lost with the Hudson server (I can't seem to connect to the one linked at the nb.org page). All of the hudson.* directories seem to relate to NetBeans hudson support, not the build. Finally, the Apache infrastructure has a build bot running on a Mac Mini. If the original build scripts can be found, and the proper permissions acquired on the Mac Build bot, then, ideally, the previous build can be ported to the new infrastructure. Ideally, this shouldn't have to be a clean room reinvention of the wheel if it were deigned to be something that the group still wanted to have supported. But, I don't know. Regards.
