Thanks, I'll check them out. But what I am trying to produce is a zip distribution fo Mac is x similar to the one available on postgresql download site. Homebrew works but it ties the libpg to prefix if the path where libs are generated. I am trying to do some unit testing across more then one machine on an ongoing basis.
Hope that helps clear uo what I mean by portable.

How to compile and build portable postgresql for mac. Can someone point me how the builds are done for general distribution. A script would be appreciated if anyone has it.
I'm not sure what you mean by "portable"? I'm going to answer assuming you just want to run postgres on your own Mac.
There are couple options. Peter Eisentraut has a great collection of Homebrew scripts that you can plug into: https://github.com/petere/homebrew-postgresql
I've recently switched to pgenv, which provides a clean CLI for building and using all the various supported versions: https://github.com/theory/pgenv
