If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/arm-elf-binutils
%  sudo port install arm-elf-binutils  
Password: 

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Verifying checksum for arm-elf-binutils
--->  Extracting arm-elf-binutils
--->  Configuring arm-elf-binutils
--->  Building arm-elf-binutils with target all

--->  Staging arm-elf-binutils into destroot

--->  Installing arm-elf-binutils

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using arm-elf-binutils with these commands:

%  man arm-elf-binutils
%  apropos arm-elf-binutils
%  which arm-elf-binutils
%  locate arm-elf-binutils
