http://www.ibphoenix.com/main.nfs?a=ibphoenix&page=ibp_fb15_macos has
an extract from David's original document.

I also have here an 11-page pdf of the whole document, which someone
created from a Google cache of David's page. I'm trying to contact
David to ask whether it's OK to distribute it from our knowledgebase.

Builds and porting stuff is off-topic in the support list (this
list). I strongly recommend subscribing to the firebird-devel list
and asking about it there. There are quite a few people actively
working on MacOS ports at the moment and info trickles through in
dribs and drabs. But keep watching this list, too, for other
responses that might appear. I'm keen to put up some "platform
pages" on the website where we can centralise resources for the
"other" builds, including Mac OSX in its various guises.
