This links to xampp works great on macs. I have put it only for PPC machines, but it claims to work properly on Intel as well.
I also had success installing FreeTDS and PHP from source on an Intel Macbook, running Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard). My steps were the following:
PREPARE SOURCE CODE
step 1: download latest php version
step 2: un-tar the php source code
step 3: download latest freetds version
step 4: un-tar the freetds source code
INSTALL THE FREETDS
step 5: make sure there is a writable directory at /usr/local/freetds
step 6: "cd" to the freetds source directory
step 7: run "sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/freetds --enable-msdblib"
step 8: run "sudo make"
step 9: run "sudo make install"
step 10: run "touch /usr/local/freetds/include/tds.h" (add blank, but necessary files)
step 11: run "touch /usr/local/freetds/lib/libtds.a" (add blank, but necessary files)
INSTALL THE PHP
step 11: "cd" to the php source directory
step 12: run "sudo ./configure --disable-all --with-mssql=/usr/local/freetds"
step 13: run "sudo make"
step 14: run "sudo make install"
Of course, since I was disabling-all (step 12) that means that you have to explicitly add back those modules you want to configure php with.

For the 64-bit architecture in some cases you need to link /usr/local/freetds/lib64 to /usr/local/freetds/lib.

mssql install-setup as so on linux:
get freetds package
1. wget ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/
ALPHA/freetds/stable/freetds-stable.tgz
2. uncompress and cd 2 sources folder
3. ./configure --enable-msdblib --prefix=/usr/local/freetds
4. make
5. make install
copy some supplementary files
6. cp include/tds.h /usr/local/freetds/include
7. cp src/tds/.libs/libtds.a /usr/local/freetds/lib
get php devel sources if you don't have it and install it
get php sourcers files, uncompress it, chdir
8. chdir ext/mssql
8. phpize
9. ./configure --with-mssql=/usr/local/freetds
10. make
11. cp modules/mssql.so phpextensionpath, or make install
12. echo "/usr/local/freetds/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf
and
echo "export FREETDSCONF=/usr/local/freetds/etc/freetds.conf" >> /etc/profile
add in extension section
13. extension=mssql.so to php.ini
add in httpd.conf right above "Include /etc/httpd/mod_php.conf"
14.SetEnv FREETDSCONF /usr/local/freetds/etc/freetds.conf
15. set you server connection in /usr/local/freetds/etc/freetds.conf
for testing w/o reboot server:
16. export FREETDSCONF=/usr/local/freetds/etc/freetds.conf
17. restart apache
18. verify mssql enabled with phpinfo()
19. run your test script.
20. other fine tunnigs and settings
pls. keep in mind:
- your ms SQL must be setup with socket listing ;)
- check windoze box firewall to accept TCP 1433 connection.
Enjoy!

The 30-character limitation does not apply to the FreeTDS db-lib implementation. FreeTDS returns column names of any length supported by the server (and protocol).
