I seriously doubt jhbuild on mac would be configured to use /opt/gnome
as prefix, so please pass prefix=... to your make command.

I'm on Fedora 23. My jhbuild config is a standard one with:
checkoutroot = os.path.expanduser('~/gnome')
prefix = '/opt/gnome'
In any case, no matter what, you should have the gir files in
$(prefix)/share/gir-1.0.
This is true in any OS you try to jhbuild on. If you don't then
something is wrong with your setup, and you should look at the build
logs. At the very least Gtk-3.0.gir should be there (along with its
deps Pango, Atk, cairo, PangoCairo, Gdk etc.), if it isn't look at the
output of "jhbuild buildone -fac gtk+" if it says something about
introspection.
If it still fails, you can look at "jhbuild buildone -f
gobject-introspection" and look where it installs thing.
These instructions can be found through a link on the
gtk.org download page for OS X.
A lot of modules need patches in order to build correctly on OS X, and this setup will apply those patches for you. Make sure to use the "modulesets-stable" option, unless you feel like doing a lot of build system debugging; in most cases, "modulesets-stable" gives you versions that are known to work.
(This is probably also why you have been having trouble downloading nspr and mozjs.)
