This is a bug in OS X's "setup" functionality.  If you install  
buildbot via:

	sudo python setup.py install --install-scripts=/usr/local/bin

then /usr/local/bin/ is where the binaries will go.  You could send  
them straight to /usr/bin/ as well, your choice.

Not sure about the rest of your issues, I install everything from  
source.
