it is usually better to use startx

You need to set some more environment variables

export CPPFLAGS=-I/Volumes/external/opt/local/include
export CFLAGS=-I/Volumes/external/opt/local/include
export LDFLAGS=-L/Volumes/external/opt/local/lib

Apple's gcc is not a good option, you need FSF gcc.  3.3.5 works well
This error is probably the result of gcc called with -lgcc_s
which Apple's gcc does not have.
