That would be an OSX .dmg. Is a member of the community interested in
taking up such a project?
Thanks,

I created an installer for Mac OS X over two years ago, when we were
still using dsource.org. As far as I know it's never been used, I don't
know why. This is the things I get really disappointed on. Walter
specifically asked for an installer, I created one, it got uploaded to
dsoruce, then nothing.
Sorry. Hopefully things have changed significantly since.
Anyway, it's available at github:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/installer/tree/master/osx
Would you consider authoring a pull request for
D-Programming-Language/Installer?
A much better way to install D, in my opinion, is DVM:
https://bitbucket.org/doob/dvm
A platform independent installer which also you to easily install and
switch between multiple versions of DMD.
Platform-independent installers are great, just not for first users.
Let's have a hassle-free installation path first.
