I'm guessing they had some unacceptable paths hardcoded to them?
Except that you told that homebrew works even when installed to a custom location, which sounds like there's no such dependency to specific paths. Unless the homebrew installation process does some modifications to them when installing to custom location. In which case we might be able to do the same thing.

Spun off from #46342
It looks like it is possible to build a self-contained Mac app bundle with meson, using static libraries. This would allow an end user to download a zip file, un-zip it, put freeciv.app in their Applications folder, and run it without having to install homebrew and the homebrew packages. Would need a script to build it, and a MacAppREADME.txt file to include in the zip file.
The main issue is that meson.build needs to replace (at least some) calls to c_compiler.find_library() with calls to dependency().
