Unfortunately, I know too little about the Mac system. However, I have a
few thoughts about this:
 * If the linker can't read the poppler libs, it is no wonder that there
are many unresolved references to it. If there are no other problems in
the linker output (e.g., undefined symbols not related to poppler),
we're on the right track.
 * It strikes me as odd that the lib is called libpoppler-qt4.3.dylib.
You did download Qt 4.7, right? Was it used correctly? Or is the
filename just coincidence, and the .3 does not signify the minor version
of Qt 4?
 * In TeXworks.pro, I found on line 84 the statement "CONFIG += x86
ppc". Depending on your system, you may have to change this if you're
not building universal binaries for now.
