Here you go: http://freecode.com/projects/bashcompletion

You can install it via brew: brew install bash-completion. During installation brew will say what to do next - add some lines to your ~/.bash_profile:

if [ -f $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion ]; then
    . $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion
fi

Take a look at README for instructions on how to add custom completions
