Francesco has already written down what's necessary to
compile on OS X:

http://www.bozzograo.net/radiancewiki/doku.php

I haven't compiled Radiance myself in ages because
Greg always provides the binaries (probably first of
all):

http://radsite.lbl.gov/radiance/dist/rad3R9_macosx.tar.gz

There are minor issues on OS X but they have been
covered a lot and if your student couldn't get it
to work he/she shouldn't use the source distribution
in the first place or search the in list archives
for the same problem.
