Just a hunch: try make -C gui gnash

I don't completely follow your description here; perhaps the actual
output from the build process could clarify. That said...

I am sorry to report that the native Aqua GUI is very much experimental
at this stage. Although there is an implementation, I haven't been able
to test it because I still don't understand Aqua / Carbon bundles.

In short, use at your own risk and expect to hit issues.

However, I have previously been able to run Gnash with the SDL GUI on
OSX; I think the instructions strk linked to would lead you there without 
too much trouble. SDL has the downside that it has no menu and of course
it doesn't integrate into your browser. On the other hand, neither does 
the Aqua GUI at this point. :)

Have fun,
