I managed to get a build from trunk with one problem reported here:

I did not do anything with the core/gui/app moc sources myself, so I  
am assuming that the project automagically takes care of this issue.

A key to helping was Gary's suggestion to place the xcode project  
inside the mac folder within the trunk directory, i.e. 'sources/qgis/ 
trunk/mac/xcode. This allowed the sources to be found without having  
to load them into the project.

This is very useful. Thanks for the excellent work!
