Rhythmbox on my Mac and I don't manage to compile all the dependancies.
So, do you know if someone already compiled it for Mac and could share
the binary ?

It looks like it's available via Fink: http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/rhythmbox. You can see how to set it up via howtos, e.g. http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/05/09/how-to-install-linux-applications-in-os-x-a-complete-walkthrough.

Looks rather out-of-date, which is a problem with Fink binaries. Might I suggest running a current Linux distribution in a virtual machine? Say Ubuntu inside of Virtualbox or something like that? I don't have any experience in this specific area, but I know people who have done this and have been pleased with the results.
