I found a way to build JScheme on Mac OS X 10.4.10.
I believe this fix should be valid for all platforms.

In src/build/make.scm, I replaced:

--->8---snip--->8---
;;; Assumes a subdirectory is the only thing on classpath.
(define appDir (.getCanonicalFile
		(.getParentFile
                   (.getCanonicalFile
		   (File. ($ "java.class.path"))))))
--->8---snip--->8---

with:

--->8---snip--->8---
;;; No longer assumes a subdirectory is the only thing on classpath.
;;; Now assumes first thing on classpath is what should be used.
(define appDir
   (let* ((cp ($ "java.class.path"))
          (i (.indexOf cp (System.getProperty "path.separator")))
          (subdir (cond ((= i -1) cp)
                        ((> i 0) (substring cp 0 i))
                        (else (error (string-append
                                      "appDir: can't create File  
object "
                                      "from classpath "
                                      "\"" cp "\"\n"))))))
     (.getCanonicalFile (.getParentFile (.getCanonicalFile (File.  
subdir))))))
