Ryan,

Funky.  /usr3/pkg4/ is where the FWTools stuff lives on my system when
I am building it.  I suspect the gdal-config script isn't being re-worked
properly as part of the install process.  Lacking that, you can just
edit the MapServer Makefile to fix the problem, or possibly edit
FWTools-1.0.5/bin/gdal-config and fix the path there.

If you file a bug against FWTools on this issue, I'll try and handle
it properly in the future.

Best regards,
