Do you mean every version of OS X? I will not run on OS 9, afaik.
It can be compiled against any version of OS X, again as far as I know.

Here is the thing, the user doesn't have Postgres installed on his/her
computer. So how am I going to distribute pg_dump, from my
understandin you
have to compile postgres on a Mac in order to get the pgdump
executable. And
is this for every version of Mac?

pg_dump runs on any platform postgres does.

In heaven's name, WHY?
Do you have any idea how much future pain you are setting
yourself
up for? pg_dump changes with every PG release to deal with new
features and changes in the system catalogs.
Read the CVS logs for pg_dump for the past few years, then ask
yourself if you really want to buy into a comparable amount of
ongoing maintenance effort.
You'd be way better off just invoking pg_dump as a
subprocess. If
there are specific features you need that pg_dump doesn't
have (eg,
dumping just selected tables) consider helping to add them.
