It is, but bear in mind that DMD is currently miscompiled by the LLVM 
backend, which results in compiler crashes at runtime (or maybe the 
backend memory allocation code in question just relies on undefined 
behavior, I didn't look into the issue long enough to be able to judge 
that) – and Apple changed g++ to point to LLVM-GCC 4.2 in Lion, so you 
have to either change the symlink or edit the DMD makefiles to use g++-4.2.
