Sure, but I'm obstinately sticking to the theory that he asked on a FreeBSD forum for a reason.

And, if he researches the leads he's been given, I'm sure something OSeXy will turn up for him.

Maybe because OS-X borrowed heavily from FreeBSD? :e

Even though there's a lot of FreeBSD stuff in OS-X, DWARF isn't one of them.

In this case, it doesn't actually matter. DWARF debugging symbols is supported by gcc, the default cc on both FreeBSD and OSX (with Xcode installed).
