WxPython 2.8 can only be built 32bit (aka Carbon).  GRASS configuration will detect if wxPython is 64bit-ready, and force compilation in 32bits if not, but that only works if you configure GRASS at least 32bit.  ie 32bit only, or 32+64bit.  The default on Mt Lion is 64bit-only if you don't set any arch options.

This is why compilation with WxPython 2.9 works, because it can use 64bit Cocoa.  But then there is the runtime problem that has yet to be solved.
