Currently in "/usr/share/dmd" with symlinks in "/usr/bin" and "/usr/lib" IIRC. Shouldn't be any problem to change that.

I'd tend to prefer /usr/local/share/dmd and /usr/local/{bin,lib,man}.

For one thing that'll allow things to work with D for Xcode out of the box (which expects to find dmd and phobos in /usr/local/{bin,lib}) and also I think it is a better place to install stuff not provided by the vendor (Apple in this case). Typically, the vendor of a UNIX distribution put its things in /usr and leaves /usr/local clean so users can install their files separately of the ones provided by the distribution. Or at least that's how I understand things.
