Bingo.

psql:/home/bnordgren/src/postgis-geos/regress/postgis.sql:65: ERROR:  could
not access file
"/home/bnordgren/src/postgis-geos-build/regress/00-regress-install/lib/postgis-2.0":
Permission denied

To be clear: I'm NOT installing this in the system directory. I'm running
"make check" before "make install".

It appears that the system's postgresql instance (running as user postgres)
does not have permission to access the non-installed .so files in my
directory (owned by me). Wouldn't it make sense to have "make check" create
a directory structure with world read/execute permissions if it's planning
on setting up this kind of situation?

I'll play with this more later...Thanks for the pointers!
