The folks at Ardour.org have even been so kind as to provide DMG 
installers for several of the LADPSA plugin libraries:

I don't see the BLOP library there, which is a bit of a pity because 
that was one of my problem libraries when I did some research on Linux 
apps for OSX last October:

You could follow the thread to see some of the authors' suggestions. 
Stephane Letz suggested replacing -shared with -bundle in the makefile 
to get BLOP and some other LADSPAs to compile:

I guess [plugin~] would need to be compiled for LADSPA support, right? I 
don't find [plugin~] in your extended installers, HC, so I couldn't 
check and see if the LADSPA libs work "out of the box".

best,
d.
