Sean,

? never heard about a 'patchfiles', so i cannot help here...

... however, the current cvs snapshot should support OSX out-of-the-box
(except the python module possibly) and the next stable release should not
be that far in time by now.

if you absolutely need to use gdal 1.1.9 something similar to:
http://www.remotesensing.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/osrs/gdal/aclocal.m4.diff?r1
=1.38&r2=1.39&f=u
can be applied before configure, but than you need to run autoconf as well.

BTW, i did most of the porting work that is into gdal cvs now, if you
encounter any bug or have additional feature requests feel free to
send it to the list, and i'll see what i can do. MacOSX is definetly a
porting target taht i'd like to support.

cheers
