I've successfully rebuilt my svn trunk OS X frontend a couple of times this
week, with something like (not at the Mac right now...)
./osx-packager.pl -svnrev 14265 -verbose -pluginskip

Are you sure that your error above is the first error that the script
throws? The -enablebackend option particularly catches my eye, I thought
that mythbackend on OS X was known not to be working so well (I could be
quite wrong).

Maybe try it without the verbose, without the backend, disabling plugins?
