The easy place to start is pd itself, probably, because its a small package. But the Mac build process might be non-public. The would process for building Pd-extended on Mac OS X is documented and scripted, but its a lot more complicated too. It relies on lots of external libs. They are all in Fink, so my guess they are mostly or maybe all in MacPorts.
