You appear to be missing the netpbm package.  This was discussed
on the list a while back.  Netpbm is needed for the initial build
of Groff.  It's not needed for the distributed tarballs.  You are
also missing gs (GhostScript) and psselect (which allows one to
select individual pages from a PostScript document), and the
Nimbus Sans L fonts.  Install the missing bits, and I suspect your
build will go much better.

I'm not sure what to make of this one, I'm afraid.  Perhaps it's
related to the version of sed?  Does OS-X use GNU sed?  That's
what I've got here, and I didn't get this error.  I'm just
guessing, though.

Hope this helps.
