I tried to configure IcedTea on mac, but gave up.

With configure script generated by autotools from macports (automake 
1.14) I've got:

     ./configure: line 8675: syntax error near unexpected token `NSS,'
     ./configure: line 8675: `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(NSS, nss, NSS_FOUND=yes, 
NSS_FOUND=no)'

With configure script generated in linux (automake 1.11.6) I've got:

     checking for XPROTO... no
     configure: error: Could not find Xproto headers -   Try installing 
xorg-x11-proto-devel

I have Xproto.h and other headers in /usr/include/X11 . I tried to 
install x11-xproto from macports with the same results. I have a shallow 
knowledge in autotools, any suggestions about these issues are appreciated.

I think it's better to compare patched sources configured on linux and 
mac, but haven't succeeded in this yet.

BTW, changes in a patch are similar to this change - 
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/icedtea/jdk7/jdk/diff/005c45393f0d/make/sun/xawt/FILES_c_unix.gmk 

only for mac specific makefiles.
