heck, yeah! 
the code is there, the makefile's there, the lib successfully has been used on other platforms - why not?
(besides that I don't have any kind of coding/compiling environment running on my laptop)

If I did the little "hack" of modifying the scripts that come with the iTunes-LAME package it would be a permanent workaround.
Timewise ... no idea whats better.
In terms of global thinking and sustainability an appropriate Mac binary should be the way to go - IMHO.

Happy composing!!  ;-)  m.
