Well, in order to accelerate development, here's what i had to do (so  
far):

1) bswap fix.  There is some dvd code used in 3 diffrent places. You  
need to add a case for apple byteswapping.  The first instance of  
this is in libdvdnav

diff -puriN libdvdnav-orig/src/dvdread/bswap.h libdvdnav/src/dvdread/ 
bswap.h

+++ libdvdnav/src/dvdread/bswap.h       2006-01-26 23:27:57.000000000

#define B2N_32(x) x = be32toh(x)
#define B2N_64(x) x = be64toh(x)

+#elif defined(__APPLE__)
+#include <libkern/OSByteOrder.h>
+#define B2N_16(x) x = OSSwapBigToHostConstInt16(x)
+#define B2N_32(x) x = OSSwapBigToHostConstInt32(x)
+#define B2N_64(x) x = OSSwapBigToHostConstInt64(x)

/* This is a slow but portable implementation, it has multiple  
evaluation
   * problems so beware.
   * Old FreeBSD's and Solaris don't have <byteswap.h> or any other such


2) patch exif.  exif-utils.c line 83:  remove the word "static".   
(was: static ExifSShort.  now:  ExifSshort)

3) another bswap patch.  this time to libdvdread.

4) added options to ./configure  (i added these right to osx- 
packager.pl)

--enable-mac-accel
--arch=i686
--disable-mmx
--disable-distcc
--extra-cxxflags="-msse -msse2 -msse3"

(that last extra-cxxflags fixes a lot.  event tho it should be  
skipping SIMD instructions, some of apple's linking code expects  
these options.  this fixes those m128 errors)

5) fix mythtv/libs/libavcodec/liba52/resample.c
	even tho mmx has been disabled, there are some silly assumptions in  
this file.  remove the ifdef that includes resample_mmx.c.  Also  
remove the ifdef ARCH_X86 stanzas.

6)  3rd bswap.h patch, this time in mythlibdvd


anyway, that's how i got to where i am now.  (compiles, but doesnt run)
