Sadly, I don't believe there is one.  I asked the same thing over a 
year ago.  I got one or two mumbles after I'd repeatedly asked.

Upon looking at it, I see some kind of cross compile will have to 
happen.  Its not like Guile or other scheme projects that are written 
in C and you just configure/make/make install.  No, this thing seems to 
be part C, part scheme and part object files.

To me this makes MIT Scheme a whole lot less useful that other flavors 
of scheme.

OSX is now the largest commercial flavor of Un*x and this scheme is not 
available for it.
