Yes, I know that the 0.27-alpha came out last week, but I'm still
happy to announce that Myth 0.26-fixes is now available for Mac OS X
via MacPorts*.
The wiki pages have been updated, see:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MacPorts
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Building_Myth_for_Mac_with_MacPorts
Remember that a key requirement for upgrading to 0.26 is that your
database must have time zone support installed. There are notes for
doing this on OS X on the MacPorts wiki page. See also:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MySQL_Time_Zone_Tables
MythWeb.26 should be updated on MacPorts very soon.
Hopefully Myth 0.27 will be available through MacPorts on a much more
timely basis but you can enjoy 0.26 (including fixes up to July 20,
2013) in the meantime.

PS I'd like to give credit to Stuart Henderson. I had largely given
up on getting Myth 0.26 to run mythlogserver appropriately on OS X
when he suggested the "OtherJobEnabled" parameter for launchd. That
was the key to getting OS X to automatically launch mythlogserver
before mythbackend.
*MacPorts is a package manager application that brings thousands of
opensource software packages, including MythTV, to Mac OS X.
Pre-compiled binaries are available for current OS X versions where
permissible.
