You could use the Jam build. Apple hasn't used jam since Xcode 1.x,
and it has no dependencies. I keep a copy of the source at
http://ghostscript.com/~giles/jam/jam-2.5.tar.gz if that's helpful.

In cases like this, it's helpful to provide distribution snapshots if
you want cross-platform testing. After all, it's not whether the CVS
build works with whatever autotools suite someone happens to have
installed, but whether whatever 'make dist' includes on the
maintainer's machine will actually work with the native build tools
that you can about for release.
