there is no solid solution as far as i know. you can try build 
zerobugs debugger from sources or mac ports(fails for me due to 
some libs on mountain lion) which has GUI and supports D, but now 
abandoned.

but my way is just to build with -gc and run lldb like this.
$ cd to/your/app/workdir
$ lldb
> start appname
> run
...
(sry, not used for some time)

if it crashes you will get nice lldb output and so on. maybe one 
day someone will do a GUI tool for this or maybe there is already 
one idk...

unfortunately mac development is really PITA so i'm just using 
VisualD on windows, and then test changes on mac. also i have 
tried MonoD both on windows and mac but it has even more 
inconvenient than VisualD, doesn't(?) have debugger integration 
and its project and file organization just kills me though it has 
better code completion...
