AVR Toolchain on OS X
UPDATE: Get the AVR MacPack instead of running the script below here.
AVR MacPack is a development environment for Atmel’s AVR microcontrollers running on Apple’s Mac OS X, similar to WinAVR for Windows. It consists of the GNU compiler suite, a C library for the AVR, the AVRDUDE uploader and several other useful tools.
Here is the important bit from the modified script,

#
# This is a modified version of the script located at,
# http://www.harbaum.org/till/macavr/index.html
#
# Initially this script would download the files from the
# two repositories and proceed to compile the toolchain.
# However, I experienced problems with this script in its
# original condition, hence this update.
#
# This script now requires the user to download the source
# packages as follows,
#
# ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu
# -binutils
# -gcc
# -gdb
#
# http://savannah.nongnu.org/download
# -avr-libc
# -uisp
# -avrdude
#
# ...and place these in ~/src. The script will halt if these
# are not located.
#
# The 'toolchain definitions' listed below should match the
# versions of the downloaded files.
# updated for latest versions on 13 November 2006
