I followed the same process you did.
The emacs that comes with the mac is: GNU Emacs 22.1.1
I've run configure with and without specifying a prefix
./configure --prefix=$HOME --with-jpeg=no --with-png=no --with-gif=no --with-tiff=no
and
./configure --with-jpeg=no --with-png=no --with-gif=no --with-tiff=no
if I don't add the flags --with-jpeg=no --with-png=no --with-gif=no --with-tiff=no
configure throws an error and tells me to add those flags those flags.
If I don't configure with prefix, I receive no errors on make and (sudo) make install
but when I do emacs --version, i still says 22.1.1, and NOT 23.3

Perhaps more productively: I regularly build emacs on my mac using the
configure, make, make install drill. I let it default to usr/local/*. I think
I also have a compiled curses in there too. Did you try all that already, or
did you download a binary, or what?
I also disable x when I build it.
if you run ./configure --help you will see some useful options
