Hi,
I really applaud the effort that must have been put into building this OSX native version :) In light of this I thought the more people try out your latest build the better, so I gave it a test run.
I am sorry to report that I, too, get the same errors that the others have been noticing. I tried to delete my prefs folder (put there from my non-native version in $HOME/.inkscape) but this just helped to have broken icons appear in the hanging Inkscape window before the crash. Well, I do have a heavily used macports installation in /opt/local maybe that could be the problem...
For the record, here is my exact error message (from Console.app):

My comments marked with ---> * remark *
Could this crash be related to a font cache problem? I'm just trying to think of things that are clearly on the contributors machine but not on any other machine...
My sys stats are:
Intel MacPro, 8-core (February 2008), 12GB RAM, 5 TB HD, Mac OS X 10.5.6 macports installed in /opt/local XQuartz 2.3.2_rc2 (xorg-server 1.4.2-apple25)
Also, since this thread is titled New Mac Build(s), if it is of interest I would be able to contribute a non-native (i.e. X11) build of Inkscape for Intel Macs every now and then (maybe every 100's of the revision number, i.e. 20400, 20500, 20600 and so on or every 50's depending on the pace of development).
To kick it off, could someone with an Intel Mac and Python v2.5 or v2.6 as active Python installation please try to download
http://www.sendspace.com/file/biy52n
and test it out.
That would be super! Thanks.
