I'd tend to prefer /usr/local/share/dmd and /usr/local/{bin,lib,man}.

For one thing that'll allow things to work with D for Xcode out of the 
box (which expects to find dmd and phobos in /usr/local/{bin,lib}) and 
also I think it is a better place to install stuff not provided by the 
vendor (Apple in this case). Typically, the vendor of a UNIX 
distribution put its things in /usr and leaves /usr/local clean so 
users can install their files separately of the ones provided by the 
distribution. Or at least that's how I understand things.
