There are. I gather from talking with development at work that the mac's
libtool does silly things.

It might be comparatively cool to aim for a Universal Binary build, with
support for ppc32/64 and i386 all in the one set of executables. We use
variations on:

CFLAGS="-O -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -arch ppc -arch ppc64 \
        -arch i386"

I have been simultaneously most_happy and most_frustrated with darwinports
(nice interface, keeps itself to itself in whatever --prefix you specify,
but can be very flaky to keep uptodate) and am currently enduring a phase
of having both gentoo's portage system and Fink installed simultaneously.
