haven't tried without the -U,_cuserid option recently, I'll give that a 
try soon.  The key is the -install-name option.  I did try the 
-single-module option when it changed from what it was previously, but 
it had the same effect (it's just simpler option).  That effect is that 
the embedded path for libs in the grass libs would be the source tree 
copies before installation.  I think I tried -single-module with 
-install-name, but I'm not sure.  I'll try again, otherwise it would 
have to be -flat_namespace and -fno-common.

Heck, if Lorenzo's doing the same thing to SHLIB_LD, it must be right? 
^_^  At least it looks like he has a better handle on Mac OS X porting 
stuff than I do.

Work on the version string?  I'll look into that, I vaguely recall 
something about that also.  I've just been lazy (it works), but it 
would be nice to not have to worry about manually changing the version 
number here when it does eventually change.
