libgpm is only useful with the console on Linux and FreeBSD. You don't get
that kind of console on OS X, and libgpm does nothing at all to interface
with xterm mouse mode, which is what you want to enable. (However I don't
know what terminal emulators on OS X [other than xterm from XQuartz]
support it.)

In fact, it looks like graphics and mouse will only work if you run it in
an X11 terminal emulator such as xterm, and you need to install the +x11
variant to get that.
