Also note, much to my annoyance, homebrew actually is all build from source.

The script will get "more press" but not be tested as often, the reason: It's a LOT of work since keeping a OSX for each version twice, one for homebrew and one where homebrew was never used. This means 6 different OSX partitions for testing for the wiki, plus one for 10.6. Oh and.. I run two more OSX for the real phones (one at work and one at home).

Even the script seemed to work but things like git crashed. I did a major update today to the 10.6 wiki: https://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Installation_on_OS_X_10.6_Snow_Leopard.

Some people did not like homebrew and had trouble with other methods so they needed an alternative that also "just works". I have been testing the heck out of the script. For either, if nothing else was added to /usr/local it can be deleted, that's what I was shooting for. There will be much more info on the prerequisites, possibly it's own info page, I will document pros and cons of each method. Still working on it. Thank both of you very much for the comments.

The new script and Brian's file give you complete control over where things go unlike homebrew and will be more prominent in the next wiki updates I have been working on. I wrote the instructions to be easy for "semi-techies" which is why homebrew is featured for now.
