Is there a libsynctex package shipped as a part of MacTex?

You might have a look at how others solve packaging of libsynctex as a
shared library:
https://packages.debian.org/buster/libsynctex2
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/devel/tex-synctex/
https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/texlive-bin

Said Zathura (in poppler mode), as well as Evince, Okular, Sumatra,
Atril, QPDFview, which is arguably the majority of PDF viewers out
there (notable exceptions are xpdf and Adobe Reader). Any of them,
paired with one's synctex-aware editor of choice, makes a TeXShop-like
TeX IDE.

Cf. the “Required by” field at
