Ah!  That's because my Postgres binary is running 64bits, but a  
default compile builds 32bits.  Your new postgis is 32bits, so  
Postgres can't load it.

First, wait for Mark to update the SVN snapshot with some fixes for  
all this.

Then, do this to configure and compile postgis:

export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.5
export PG_CPPFLAGS="-arch x86_64"
export SHLIB_LINK="-arch x86_64"
export PG_LIBS="-arch x86_64"
./configure --with-pgconfig=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config \
--mandir=/usr/local/pgsql/man \
--with-geosconfig=/Library/Frameworks/GEOS.framework/Programs/geos- 
config \
--with-projdir=/Library/Frameworks/PROJ.framework/unix \
CFLAGS="-arch x86_64"
