Sure!
My machine is Mac OSX 10.4 PPC

1) Check if you have Xcode version 2.2 installed, otherwise upgrade it (Go to Apple 
Developer Connect connect.apple.com and go to Developer Transition Kit to download it).

2) Download source from zeroc.com
http://www.zeroc.com/download/Ice/3.3/Ice-3.3.0.tar.gz
and unpack it somewhere (in my case /Ice-3.3.0).

3) Download 3rd party software needed to build Ice
http://www.zeroc.com/download/Ice/3.3/ThirdParty-Sources-3.3.0.tar.gz

4) Build the 3rd party programs you do not have already installed on the machine. For 
Berkeley DB remember to configure with --enable-cxx (otherwise you don't have the needed 
db_cxx.h header)

5) The IceC++ installation instructions are: /Ice-3.3.0/cpp/INSTALL.MACOSX

6) Edit /Ice-3.3.0/cpp/config/Make.rules and change the *_HOME variables to point to the 
installation directories for the various 3rd party packages.

7) Return to /Ice-3.3.0/cpp and execute make

8) Wait. There are warning during compilation, but no error.

9) The installation notes suggest to run "make test" to run the tests. What the notes 
don't say is that the test programs are not built by default. If you want to run the 
tests, go to /Ice-3.3.0/cpp/test and do "make". Then cd .. and "make test".

10) Remember to update PATH adding /Ice-3.3.0/cpp/bin and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH adding 
/Ice-3.3.0/cpp/lib

Hope it helps.
Ciao!
