I have some notes from August '08 when I built gtk for osx with the x11 
back end. Let me know if you are interested. Most of the steps should be 
about the same. It was sort of funny in the sense that I have still 
never even used osx in gui mode. A friend set me up a shell account on 
his osx box on our lan, and from there via ssh and no root access, I 
made it all the way to screen shots for a presentation. I was very 
impressed that developers had taken the time to make all those pieces 
even work. My *nix experience comes from the gnu/linux world, and so for 
me at least, osx was a very strange animal. It would likely be easier to 
build for native osx gui (carbon?) than x11, since there was all sorts 
of --please-dont-do=that type switches I had to use.
