See comment 7 on the above bug report that Gilles sent you. The patch in the 
comment does exactly that, it's pretty simple. If you have digikam's git repo 
cloned, then simply. Download the patch
 $ cd digikam-sc/core
 $ git am 0001-disable-filewatching-on-OS-X-but-dir-watching-still-.patch


If you're just using the source tar file, then you might have to do 
 $ cd digikam/core
 $ patch -p1 < 0001-disable-filewatching-on-OS-X-but-dir-watching-still-.patch

now compile.

Caution: i don't have my mac in front of me, these commands above may not be 
exact.
