I may have found a solution to my own problem: in the file foo-canvas- 
rect-ellipse.c  replace every instance of

#ifdef HAVE_RENDER
...
#endif

with

#ifdef HAVE_RENDER
#ifdef HAVE_X
...
#endif
#endif

This permits goffice to install for me (G4, OS 10.5.6, MacPorts 1.7.1,  
Xcode 3.1.2).  I haven't finished all the rest of the installation  
yet, so I don't know whether I've broken things or not.  If Gnucash  
runs fine for me with this patch, I'll try following the instructions  
for creating a diff and post it to trac.  (I have to figure out first  
how to get back the .c files without undoing my installation since  
they got cleaned up I think.)
