I haven't tested this with OS X, but you can compile wpa_supplicant by
adding following lines into wpa_supplicant/.config:

CONFIG_DRIVER_WIRED=y
CONFIG_L2_PACKET=freebsd

driver_wext.c is a Linux driver wrapper and there is no point in trying
to build that for OS X. You will need to remove CONFIG_DRIVER_* lines
that do not match the target you are build for.
