Unfortunatley at this point in time, we're not officially supporting
Mac OS-X as a platform, since none of us have ability todo regular
enough testing to avoid breakage. For Windows biulds we have an
automated build running with the mingw cross-compiler to catch problems
quickly. We don't have ability todo the same for OS-X unfortunately..

If want to submit patches to fix various OS-X problems you encounter
we'll happily accept them & apply, but in absence of automated builds
it will require someone todo pretty regular manual build testing to
make sure it keeps working.

This just sounds like you're missing the portable-xdr library build
pre-requisite.
