Er, there's no "-lgd" in there.

I suspect that gmake5 is using the old make.rules file; try:

	cd /usr/src/grass
	rm -rf src/display/devices/PNGdriver/OBJ.powerpc-apple-darwin1.4
	gmake5 src/display/devices/PNGdriver

I think that this is just the OS convention; some OSes add underscores
to the beginning of symbols.

It allows you to direct the output of d.* commands to a PNG (or GIF)
image instead of a window.

Yes.
