After manually applying Timoth=E9e's patch I got it working with
(native) wxMAC (I'm using fink for just about everything except
pangocairo: I had to install pango manually to get pangocairo, all the
other necessary libraries came with fink already).

However, there remain some problems. It seems to run OK, but when I
click on the window with plot an icon appears (as if there was some
action in the background which has to be finished first - an
equivalent to "sand-watch" in windows or linux), so there are problems
with "interactivity" of that window. Plotting works OK.

I have to find out how to get rid of this warning (triggered when I
click on the window with plot):
(process:10862): Pango-WARNING **: Error loading GDEF table 85
(process:10862): Pango-WARNING **: Error loading GPOS table 85
(process:10862): Pango-WARNING **: Error loading GSUB table 85
