scons always behaves strangely on my mac (ive been building form 
autotools).    ther is some decent docs that apple has online that 
are worth checking out, if you haven't already. covers most of the 
grit about porting to osX.  starting at 
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Porting/Conceptual/PortingUnix/index.html

done with opengl or glut.   does the gcc flag '-framework 
PLT_MzScheme' work?   alternatively, have a look at the man pages 
for otool and install_name_tool.   i previously used these aliases 
to batch the path changes, which might help;  alias ixa 
{install_name_tool -id @executable_path/../Frameworks/\$1 \
 fluxus.app/Contents/Frameworks/\$1 ; install_name_tool -change
 /opt/local/lib/\$1 @executable_path/../Frameworks/\$1
 fluxus.app/Contents/MacOS/fluxus }

alias ixo install_name_tool -change /opt/local/lib/$1 \ 
 @executable_path/../Frameworks/$1 $2
