FWIW, I have been building nightly Emacs from trunk for the past few 
days and it always builds fine here. I am not an Emacs developer, 
though, so I couldn't pretend to address the issue in your link.

Emacs reports:
GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin10.6.0, NS apple-appkit-1038.35)
  of 2011-03-05 on machine.local

Similar to what Steve said, my build script is thus (and is run from 
cron, so $PATH itself is pretty sparse):

set -e
# it needs chown which amazingly is not in /usr/bin
PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin
./configure --with-ns
make bootstrap
make install

I do not have MacPorts installed, in favor of Homebrew 
(http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/), but as I mentioned earlier, I do not 
believe Homebrew is in the PATH.

   I hope this helps in some small way,
