add configure options (via brew edit nginx)

--add-module=/usr/local/src/ngx_devel_kit
--add-module=/usr/local/src/lua-nginx-module

compile nginx

$ export LUAJIT_LIB=/usr/local/Cellar/luajit/2.0.0-beta10/lib
$ export LUAJIT_INC=/usr/local/Cellar/luajit/2.0.0-beta10/include/luajit-2.0
$ brew install nginx

Tips

logging

ngx.log(ngx.ERR, "foo")

New year, new steps to do it:
brew tap denji/nginx
brew install homebrew/nginx/nginx-full --with-lua-module --with-set-misc-module

https://github.com/denji/homebrew-nginx

Since homebrew/nginx is deprecated, using:

brew tap denji/nginx; 
brew install nginx-full --with-lua-module --with-set-misc-module

worked for me
