I added support of Mac OS X in revision 5505 [1] with the comment:

" Mac OS X "port"
- Define Windows types as they are defined on Mac OS X in
  /System/Library/Frameworks/PCSC.framework/Headers/wintypes.h
- Pack structures as they are packed on Mac OS X in
  /System/Library/Frameworks/PCSC.framework/Headers/pcsclite.h

With these changes it is possible to build this pcsc-lite on Mac OS X
and use it with an application built using the PCSC Framework headers
provided by Apple.

One application is to temporarily replace the Apple PCSC layer by a
better/working one. "

So yes, you should be able to build your application/library using the
pcsc-lite 1.8.8 header files.
That is not supported but if it works for you then that is fine.
