I don't use the installed version of LilyPond on my Mac, because I wanted to
be able to build it.  So my advice may be somewhat suspect.

Have you tried running lilypond without the ./ in front of it?  In other
operating systems, lilypond installs with a path variable that allows it to
run from a terminal window from any directory.  I don't know if it does or
not on OSX.

However, I think that you have probably identified the problem correctly,
that is, the missing files in the Pango installation.

Thanks,
