I haven't tried building the .app yet, so I may not be much help. But I'm
glad that you are trying! I think that libgnomecanvas is a dependency that
should already have been installed by macports:

$ port list installed | grep libgnomecanvas
libgnomecanvas                 @2.20.1.1       gnome/libgnomecanvas

The include files are in /opt/local/include/libgnomecanvas-2.0 and the
libraries are in /opt/local/lib. Perhaps the scripts on the wiki need some
help?
