For building "normal" command-line utility programs (with standard input/output), you can use GCC from the command-line (OS X's "Terminal" application) as you would on any Unix-style platform:

$ g++ -o program program.cpp

GNU Make is also installed by Xcode, so you can use Makefile-controlled builds if you prefer.

Of course, if you are trying to build OS X-specific (GUI) applications, it is way easier to use Xcode to manage your project. :)
