Start by reading this:

The "Merging multiple builds" way should be the simplest, although  
not very convenient to repeatedly do it as it is hard to automate:

You simply build it on both a PPC and an Intel Mac and then use the  
lipo tool to bundle the two together into one universal binary.

It's also worth noting that tsql is intended as a diagnostic tool, to  
be used solely for testing that your freetds setup is working  
properly. It is not recommended to use it as a helper tool.
