That works on two different installs without any ports or fink and just
plain OSX.5.7 with Xcode installed, here.

The result on my machines is the following beam:
Erlang R13B01 (erts-5.7.2) [source] [smp:4:4] [rq:4] [async-threads:0]
[hipe] [kernel-poll:true]

I used to configure with many options explicitly enabled:
./configure --enable-threads --enable-smp-support --enable-kernel-poll
--enable-hipe
Looks like this is not needed.

Just make sure you don't try to enable HiPE and 64-bit at the same
time on OSX. But you did not in the error log you sent, anyway :).
Right now it's either 32-bit beam with HiPE or 64-bit beam without
HiPE, on OSX. On Linux it works perfectly with HiPE in a 64-bit beam.

BTW, I am not sure how much more pressing or easier to implement this will
be with OSX.6 and its promised 64-bit improvements. I believe it's not related
at all.
