I don't know much about mezzo.net, but 1.4.11 is a pretty old version of
Asterisk. The current version of Asterisk is 1.4.24.1, and 1.4.25 is due out
relatively soon.
As far as the tarballs of Asterisk on asterisk.org go, they can be used on OS X.
Asterisk is made to be run on any POSIX-compliant OS. A few of the core
developers use Apple laptops and make sure that the code compiles and runs on a
Mac. If you use the Asterisk-GUI available from asterisk.org, you can run it on
a Mac. I don't know how much Safari testing is done, but if you have issues
using Safari, you can try using Firefox instead.
