With exactly this version of gdb I recently was successfully debugging  
the X client version of GNU Emacs 24.0.50 – on Leopard, Mac OS X 10.5.8.

Gdb is accessible in GNU Emacs, and I think since 23.x, under the  
Grand Unified Debugger, gud. Lookup documentation under gud.

I prefer not to set exec-path, I just set the right PATH for the  
environment in which the applications run. This can be done with  
~/.MacOSX/environment.plist. Once the utility/programme is found by  
Emacs it should be able to find its own particles.
