Nathan Brazil is the packager.  I assume he reads freeciv-dev but I've
cc'd him anyway.

There should be macos instructions on the INSTALL page.  Anyone can
write them.  They should explain how to install from package or from source.

And, I have no idea whether translations work.  But if you compile from
source and use gettext then they surely should.  On the other hand
freeciv has some issues with fixed directory paths (there's a hack in
configure.ac to "fix" this on win32).
