Unfortunately, no.  At least not a reliable method that will work every 
time.  If you are having trouble with the dependencies, you may want to 
try MacPorts or Fink to install everything you need.  Personally, I run 
a dev environment with 100% self compiled programs, but it isn't for the 
faint of heart :).
