I build an installer that creates links in /usr/local/bin, can you please check whether that resolves the issue.

Unfortunately it doesn't work. I'll see if I can find some more information.

It seems that /usr/share also isn't writable. I'm not sure where it's best to place the DMD installation. Apple doesn't have so much documentation about this specific for command line tools.

* MacPort places everything in /opt/local
* Homebrew places packages in their own directory somewhere in /usr/local
* There are some Ruby and Perl related folders (gems) in /Library

/usr/local/bin <- binaries go here
/usr/local/lib <- libs go here
/usr/local/share/dmd <- docs and examples go here

Can you take care of that?

I prefer that the compiler is installed in one single directory and then symlinked to /usr/local/bin.

Why? It means twice as many files, and you'll still have to remove them.

In the upcoming OS X 10.11 /usr is not writable. Instead the compiler is installed in /Library/D/dmd and symlinked to /usr/local.
