I visited the source forge page, downloaded about 5 of the 10 files, and balked.  It looks like I have to assemble a puzzle.  Is there an easier way to get a D compiler and debugger onto my mac?

Sure.  Tell Apple to stop making everything *almost* Unix-compatible ;)

Here are instructions and download links: http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango/wiki/MacOSXInstall
But they are for 10.4 and 10.5 don't know if they work with 10.3.
They are bundled with tango.

The builds for Mac OS X 10.3 were stopped, mostly since
GCC 3.3 is no longer supported for GDC and also because
templates were never working properly in the first place...

So you probably need to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.4 and GCC 4 ?
But if you don't need any modern features (nor newer versions)
of D, then you should be able to use the old GCC 3.3.6 build:
