I just cd'ed to TRUNK/texk/xdvipdfmx and ran configure from there:

$ sh configure
[...]
checking for kpse_find_file in -lkpathsea... no
configure: error: kpathsea library not found
This version of xdvipdfmx requires the kpathsea library and its  
headers. If
you know where it is you might try setting the LDFLAGS environment  
variable
with -L pointing to the directory containing libkpathsea.a.

$ sh configure --with-kpathsea=/usr/local/gwTeX
[...]

required file formats... yes

configure: error:
This version of xdvipdfmx requires that FreeType2 and its headers be  
available.
You can use the --with-freetype2 option to indicate the location of  
the installed
freetype2, or --with-ft2lib and --with-ft2include to point to the  
libfreetype.a
library and the FreeType2 include files.


$ sh configure --with-kpathsea=/usr/local/gwTeX --with-ft2lib=/usr/

Thus it seems the culprits are kpathsea and FreeType:

- kpathsea because it's not present in TeXLive as installed by MacTeX,  
and has to come from elsewhere (gwTeX in my case).

- FreeType because they're not installed in a standard location by  
MacTeX.
