This is how I link GDAL statically on MacOS X:

1. Configure proj4 for static linking:

./configure --prefix=$(INSTALL) --disable-shared

( $INSTALL is just a local directory where I store the static builds )

2. Build and install proj4

3. Configure gdal for static linking:

./configure --prefix=$(INSTALL) \
             --with-png=internal --with-libtiff=internal \
             --with-geotiff=internal --with-jpeg=internal \
             --with-gif=internal \
             --with-static-proj4=$(INSTALL) \
             --without-jasper \
             --without-python --without-ld-shared --without-libtool

Since I use custom BSB reading code that depends on some MacOS  
frameworks, I then run a
perl script on GDALmake.opt to add those dependencies.

4. Build and install gdal

5. Link against libgdal.a

My application does use some OGR functionality to do coordinate  
transforms, but
doesn't read any vector formats, so YMMV.

With kind regards,
