This builds cleanly on OSX 10.5.1 under macports:

port install transcode +a52dec +faac +freetype +imagemagick +libdv 
+libogg +libsdl +libtheora +libvorbis +libxml2 +x264 +xvid
Activating transcode 
1.1.0alpha6_0+a52dec+faac+freetype+imagemagick+libdv+libogg+libsdl+libtheora+libvorbis+libxml2+x264+xvid

Functionality not yet tested.
