You'll run into more before you're done. The UNIX-based build system 
for SDL on OS X doesn't seem to work quite right. I was never able to 
build anything more complex than one of the simple demo programs.

buildlink. When bmake configures it, PATH includes 
${WRKDIR}/.buildlink/bin, so you get wrapper scripts instead of the 
real compiler, etc. In this case, IIRC, I think it's that the buildlink 
framework is stripping out the references to the Cocoa frameworks. 
Adding
     BUILDLINK_PASSTHRU_DIRS+= /System /Library /Developer
to the package Makefile might fix things

bmake PKG_DEBUG_LEVEL=1

will make it show the commands it's running. PKG_DEBUG_LEVEL=2 will 
also make it use "sh -x" rather than just "sh" to run shell scripts.
