I used to have LilyPond installed via MacPorts and use it for development.
 But maintaining that became too hard -- there would be occasional random
breakages that would need to be fixed.  So I moved to just using LilyDev
for my development environment.  I do install development releases on my
Mac and use them with Frescobaldi for my engraving work.
