It may be the dependencies that took a long time. By contrast, I did not notice 
the long cache build on the first compile on 32 bit version.

Just install MacPorts and run 'sudo port install lilypond' or 'sudo port 
install lilypond-devel' depending on which version you prefer.

Also, it might be useful with a script named 'lilypond' somewhere in the PATH 
with:
export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
exec /opt/local/bin/lilypond "$@"
