In the past it was enough to set the mainainers.
I dont' have a Mac so I don't know about that platform.

What do you want a machine to do? It should get its job done.
So it should build the dependencies without additional order.
 
I don't run the buildfarm - so I can't say anything final.
In my opinion it should try to build the packages - and if hardware
requirements don't exist to get the build done the maintainers of the
buildfarm could ask for sponsoring - At least I would be willing to help
sponsoring hardware if that was an issue.

HTH.
