MacPorts is recommended because we “packaging” ndn-cxx/nfd/tools as ports.  For OS X 10.8, we no longer can do such recommendation.  If somebody writes comparable brew packages, we can start recommending brew.  But not until then.

The simplification of brew is that it uses /usr/local as a home, which, similarly to Ubuntu slaves, does not require any path configuration (e.g., PKG_CONFIG_PATH vairable)

For this, I created a redmine issue, which may result in a wiki page: http://redmine.named-data.net/issues/2169 <http://redmine.named-data.net/issues/2169>
