Mike,

It's a semi-hassle but doable. Make sure you have Xcode installed (not sure if the SL version comes with command line tools, but if not you'll need those too). Install:

daq
libdnet
pcre

Each of the above I configured with:
./configure --prefix=/Volumes/Data/Downloads/bleh

I'd suggest installing the above with a --prefix=/opt and keep in mind that you'll need to supply those dependency locations when you configure snort. Here's what I did when I was testing:

./configure --with-daq-includes=/Volumes/Data/Downloads/bleh/include --with-daq-libraries=/Volumes/Data/Downloads/bleh/lib --prefix=/Volumes/Data/Downloads/bleh --enable-sourcefire --with-libpcre-includes=/Volumes/Data/Downloads/bleh/include --with-libpcre-libraries=/Volumes/Data/Downloads/bleh/lib --with-dnet-includes=/Volumes/Data/Downloads/bleh/include --with-dnet-libraries=/Volumes/Data/Downloads/bleh/lib

And working:

uname -a && ./snort --version
Darwin Mac 12.3.0 Darwin Kernel Version 12.3.0: Sun Jan 6 22:37:10 PST 2013; root:xnu-2050.22.13~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

           Using libpcap version 1.1.1
           Using PCRE version: 8.32 2012-11-30
           Using ZLIB version: 1.2.5

After that you'll need to configure it, but that's pretty much covered elsewhere on the Snort site.
Good luck!

James
