You can install it through brew for Mac:

brew install valgrind

You might have to manually link the entry to /usr/local/bin as brew refused to do it in my case:

$ ln /usr/local/Cellar/valgrind/3.8.1/bin/vgdb /usr/local/bin/vgdb
ln: /usr/local/bin/vgdb: Permission denied
$ sudo ln /usr/local/Cellar/valgrind/3.8.1/bin/vgdb /usr/local/bin/vgdb
