I'm having trouble finding a Yacc or Bison that doesn't require using darwinports for Mac. If anyone has experience in this category any information will be great

I thought they came with the system, or with Xcode... – Chris Lutz
Yes, yacc/bison and flex should already be installed (at least if you have installed Xcode, and without Xcode you won't even have gcc). – Paul R

If you have a working C compiler, it should be pretty trivial to build byacc.

In case anyone skipped the comments:

Thus, please check whether they exists before trying to install :)
