Comment (by MichaelThomasSullivan@…):

 I got the same error on Mac OS X 10.5.8 PPC.

 The file macim.m in which the error occurs is added by the "inline" patch
 (patch-inline-24.4-20140820.diff) which is applied by the default variant
 inline. More recent versions of OS X don't get the error because Apple has
 removed the Cursor type from the Carbon framework (it was documented as
 being deprecated since Tiger).

 I couldn't find any meaningful documentation for that inline patch, but
 from the code it appears to add support for input modes for languages like
 Japanese, Korean, Chinese, etc. If you don't use those languages the
 easiest way to get emacs-app to build on older versions of OS X is to
 simply disable the inline variant, i.e. "port install emacs-app -inline".

 If you do want the inline variant, a tiny bit of preprocessor hackery can
 hide the Cursor type defined by the Carbon framework so that it doesn't
 conflict with Emacs' own Cursor type (neither of which are used in
 macim.m). I've attached it as patch-src-macim.m.diff; note that this must
 be applied after the inline patch creates macim.m.
