But will it be via Apple's .pkg / installer? I'd rather have a dmg containing an icon/bundle that I can simply drag to the desktop. Installing via .pkg's normally requires admin priv's.
Just a disk image containing a PHENIX-<version> folder. However, because of the way the installer works, you'll have to put it in /Applications. Making it possible to move it elsewhere is potentially a lot of extra work, unfortunately - this is mostly for the benefit of people who want to run Phenix on their personal MacBooks, not shared systems, and the nightly builds will mostly continue to be command-line only. (I will probably make disk images for testing sometime next week, however.)
