yes, without OSX app build - all that is really is just another  
subdir to make, so the libraries and modules are all stock GRASS.

Theory of the Universe

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly  
what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly  
disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarrely  
inexplicable.  There is another theory which states that this has  
already happened.
