The wx.lib.agw.customtreectrl.CustomTreeCtrl constructor appears to
have lost one of its arguments. In wxPython-2.8.10.1 it looks like:

class CustomTreeCtrl(wx.PyScrolledWindow):

    def __init__(self, parent, id=wx.ID_ANY, pos=wx.DefaultPosition, size=wx.DefaultSize,
                 style=TR_DEFAULT_STYLE, ctstyle=0, validator=wx.DefaultValidator,
                 name="CustomTreeCtrl"):

However, the documentation says:

        ctstyle: kept for backward compatibility.

Its only use is:

        style = style | ctstyle

I suggest:

-        super(ItemTree, self).__init__(parent, id, ctstyle = ctstyle, **kwargs)
+        if 'style' in kwargs:
+            ctstyle |= kwargs['style']
+            del kwargs['style']
+        super(ItemTree, self).__init__(parent, id, style = ctstyle, **kwargs)

The real-install target in Install.make creates the grass70 script
from dist.<arch>/grass70.tmp, substituting the correct value for
@GISBASE at . the bin.<arch>/grass70 script isn't installed.

If $(MACOSX_APP) is set, this is bypassed in favour of the rules in
macosx/Makefile. Maintaining that is a job for someone who actually
has a Mac.
