I already have this from the DVD that comes with MacOS 10.6. So that
part was easy.

All easy to grab.

I tried missing out step 3 (fontconfig), but that fails as poppler then
stops at the 'configure' stage. So I also downloaded and installed
fontconfig.

The various builds of libraries go okay, although 'make check' does not
look entirely happy for poppler. I'm not sure if that is a fault at
their end.

More importantly, the final buid of TeXworks fails. I'll report back on
this in full in a bit. For the moment, the important part of the log
seems to be

ld: library not found for -lQtUiTools_debug
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Command /usr/bin/g++-4.0 failed with exit code 1

** BUILD FAILED **

The first line implies that the debug libraries are needed: I'll try
grabbing those in a bit and try the build process again.
