Indeed, I got this command yesterday when I had the time to check on that:
./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local \
--enable-gpl \
--enable-nonfree \
--enable-libass \
--enable-libfdk-aac \
--enable-libfreetype \
--enable-libopus \
--enable-libvpx \
--enable-libx264 \
--enable-libx265 \
--enable-libmp3lame \
--enable-libtheora \
--enable-libvidstab \
--enable-libvorbis \
--enable-libxvid \
--extra-ldflags="\
-L/usr/local/Cellar/lame/3.99.5/lib \
-L/usr/local/Cellar/libogg/1.3.2/lib \
-L/usr/local/Cellar/theora/1.1.1/lib \
-L/usr/local/Cellar/libvorbis/1.3.5/lib \
-L/usr/local/Cellar/xvid/1.3.4/lib \
" \
--extra-cflags="\
-I/usr/local/Cellar/lame/3.99.5/include \
-I/usr/local/Cellar/libogg/1.3.2/include \
-I/usr/local/Cellar/theora/1.1.1/include \
-I/usr/local/Cellar/libvorbis/1.3.5/include \
-I/usr/local/Cellar/xvid/1.3.4/include
"

It works and compiles, but I though maybe someone could fix/update the
instructions in this guide:
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/MacOSX#CompilingFFmpegyourself

Or maybe to make FFmpeg compile this libraries some how, I really
appreciate your help, very kind, I just wanted to give some feedback in
order to make this project better, I saw that just 5 days ago Werner
Robitza and Nicolas George got in the same arguments I got here about
following precise steps for submiting issues and about compiling guides,
and just as Werner Robitza stated: "people are gonna copy-paste stuff from
it without understanding":
https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-user/2015-April/026034.html

It would be great to include the kind of issues that can happen and the
solutions for them in the guide, and as Werner Robitza stated, if I cold
submit a reviewed version of the instructions, I'll do it.

Thanks :D
