JBrowse perl dependencies are:

========
(required)
bioperl 1.6
JSON

(optional; gives you a performance boost)
JSON::XS
========

You can get JSON and JSON::XS from CPAN.

Also, if you want to display wiggle files, you need libpng with headers; 
I don't know what the story is on OS X here, probably Ian can tell you.  
All I know is that some of my friends have had more success with 
macports than fink (not with JBrowse specifically but in general), but 
that information is a bit old.  You also need a C++ compiler, but it 
sounds like you've got that already.

And that's all.  Specifically, you *don't* need a GBrowse installation.  
It was the case a long time ago that you did, so there may be a page 
somewhere on biowiki.org that still says you do.  If so, please point it 
out; I thought we either deleted those or marked them as obsolete.
