Doesn't work that way, unfortunately. If you link in any libraries without going through the framework mechanism, a program won't run on an OSX version earlier than the SDK you use to build it.

Fortunately, CoreText.framework *is* in the 10.4u SDK, so it might work. After I get the moduleset ironed out I'll test it. 

For that, a I'm seeing a couple of problems. 

--without-x has been removed from configure, so it's reporting:
   configuration:
           backends: Cairo FreeType X

Is that true? How do I suppress building the X backend?

Introspection fails with "no rule to make target `PangoCoreText-1.0.gir`, needed by `PangoCairo-1.0.gir`. Stop."

OBTW, you need to update README with the harfbuzz dependency.
