Some years have passed and there is now a proper Homebrew Tap for sshpass, maintained by Aleks Hudochenkov. To install sshpass from this tap, run:
brew install hudochenkov/sshpass/sshpass
Another option in 2020 is this homebrew tap, maintained by esolitos
brew install esolitos/ipa/sshpass

Just use brew
$ brew install http://git.io/sshpass.rb
