I don't know if they have enough Mac computers with appropriate 
releases to be able to compile binaries for Leopard or Tiger. They 
will have to tell you.

But I have been installing from source for quite some time now on my 
Mac OSX Tiger system. I do not use FINK or MacPorts, but simply 
follow the unix instructions. But be advised that if you install from 
source, you will need to install any delegate libraries that you may 
want, such as for jpg, tiff, png, etc. Then install IM from source 
afterwards or recompile IM. If you use FINK or MacPorts, then you 
need to install the delegates available from FINK or MacPorts as they 
need to be in the same special directories that FINK or MacPorts uses 
for all installs. Delegates are available at 
http://www.imagemagick.org/download/delegates/ but you may be better 
googling for more current versions.

You can tell what delegates you have installed (that is which ones IM 
recognizes as available) by typing

convert -list configure

and look at the line starting with DELEGATES.

For example mine is:

DELEGATES     bzlib fftw fontconfig freetype gs jpeg jng jp2 lcms lqr 
openexr png tiff x11 xml zlib
