I just installed ipaclient on macOS, which seems to work fine after two patches:
libkrb5 uses another name: https://github.com/freeipa/freeipa/pull/699
/usr/local/bin/ipa uses #!/usr/bin/python which is the system provided python version on macOS. I use python from homebrew (https://brew.sh) which is installed in /usr/local/bin
I think it would be best to use a fixed path for RPM packages but if you install using pip env should be used. I'm not sure how /usr/bin/python ends up in the whl file, so I couldn't include it in the pull request.
Ticket #6653 should address and fix any path issues.

After checking again on a fresh system, I remembered that some more work is needed....
If someone else wants to use ipaclient on macOS:
install homebrew (https://brew.sh) brew install python nss
Get python-nss from pypi and install it manually: export LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/opt/nss/lib python setup.py install --include-root=/usr/local/opt/nss/include --include-root/usr/local/include
pip install ipaclient
I got good news for you. FreeIPA 4.6 client will no longer depend on python-nss.
PR https://github.com/freeipa/freeipa/pull/700 turns ipa CLI into a proper entry point.
