That doesn't matter. It's written in Python, it doesn't need a configure script. I think virt-manager might work on Mac OS X, but only to connect to virtual machines running remotely on a Linux machine. virt-manager relies on libvirtd running on the same machine as the guest, and libvirtd is definitely Linux only.
