After much fuss, I recently persuaded gpg-agent v1.9.20 to compile under
Mac OS with Darwin Ports.  If I remember rightly, I used ports to
install most of the libraries.  However, one library was too out of date
and I used ports file from the previous version to modify it.

I then had to modify the gpg-agent source code to refer to the PCSC
driver under Mac OS and it now works perfectly on my system.

Unfortunately, I haven't got time to list the exact steps at the moment
but, hopefully, the above might help you enough to get it going.  If it
doesn't, send me a message in about a week and I will send more detailed
information / look into updating the gpg-agent port.
