If you came here from my article, I suggest checking the D for GCC reference at
the end.  That'll take you to the D.gnu newsgroup here, where a GCC frontend for
D is underway.  And yes, it does currently compile on OS X.

The GCC frontend for D can generate PPC binaries, and works on OS X albiet
with rather limited functionality.
