First off; there is no su for OSX; and its much more involved than this 
to get it running on OSX.

You have 2 choices;

#1. The X11 Driver
(This requires X11 from mac, cairo, render, Xrender, libpixman, libgif, 
libtiff, jpeglib, libpng, libgdiplus)  Most of those you'll have to 
install from source.

#2.  The Quartz Driver
(This requires everything above except for X11, render, Xrender)  
You'll also requires some custom cairo patches from me that aren't 
complete yet.

However, you should remember that neither of these are complete; if you 
want them to make an application; hold off; if you want the to assist 
in development; plow ahead.

PS.  A large number of the dependancies required some custom hacking by 
me to make them happy with auto* on OSX.  If fink has a recent build of 
them all; I'd suggest using that I personally just dont run fink.
