Hmm this example is indeed out of date since we have moved to using CMake for 
all build tasks and this plugin example does not yet reflect this. I have added 
a note in the manual sources that this section needs updating. For now I 
suggest using the plugin builder script to generate a cmakelists.txt if you 
want to build your plugin within the source tree, 

If you are looking for an example of a QGIS plugin that is built outside of 
the QGIS source tree I can suggest you take a look at Peter Erst's 'EVIS' 
plugin which I believe builds under OS X too:

svn co https://svn.biodiversityinformatics.amnh.org/public/evis/trunk/evis
