No.  That's not the right approach for almost any user, there is just no reason 
to compile Lilypond from scratch.  Download the precompiled binary and put it 
in the Applications folder.

Note that the 10.6.7 OS update from Apple may break Lilypond.  There have been 
several reports of problems after updating to 10.6.7 but I have no idea if the 
cause or a for-sure ix has been identified.
