I downloaded the sources and built it with make.

Here are the commands I used to build the debug multi threaded version:
export CFLAGS='-g -O0'
export CPPFLAGS='-g -O0'
./configure --prefix=PutYourPrefixPathHere --with-gnu-ld --without-iconv 
--without-zlib --disable-shared --with-debug --with-mem-debug
make

If you don't need a static library, and can live with whatever version 
the system has on it, libxml2 is already available on a Mac in /usr/lib

Hope it helps,
