Another option might be to cross-compile GCC from a Linux system, though I would expect 99% to take the easier option of just installing a binary. With an iPhone you can't officially at least install an application unless it is downloaded from the Apple store. To do so needs a hack which invalidates the warranty. There's nothing stopping Apple doing the same with OS X in the future. That's a risk you take. But for now, I'm just glad Apple are putting money into Clang. I've never been impressed with GCC, so if someone produces something better, I'm keen.
