Update -  I have been investigating further:

It is true that DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH is not set in my shell at the time I 
invoke gnucash.

However the file 'gnucash' is itself a shell script that does (in 
gnucash 2.1.0) set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH in a series of steps:
I put in an 'echo' command to see what the value was by the time the 
gnucash binary was invoked - it was:     
/opt/local/lib/gnucash::/opt/local/lib:/opt/local/lib/gnucash:

This looks sort-of OK but I don't see why the /opt/local/lib/gnucash 
entry is duplicated.

I tried knocking out the setting of DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to see what happens.
The answer is that loading proceeds a bit further - the Gnucash splash 
screen appears momentarily and then it fails saying:

ERROR: In procedure dynamic-link:
ERROR: file: "libgnc-core-utils", message: "dlopen(libgnc-core-utils.so, 
9): image not found"

So it is necessary to set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, but presumably the above 
value is not right.
Does anyone know what it should be set to?

PS - for the record, the corresponding Gnucash script for the previous 
version (2.0.5) (which works OK on my system) does NOT set 
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH.
