If coriander is hard to build on OSX, just experiment with camera1394
settings using dynamic reconfigure:

 $ rosrun dynamic_reconfigure reconfigure_gui

You should be able to try various driver options that way (by
selecting camera1394_node in the GUI).

Maybe someone else has experience using this camera with libdc1394?
