Thanks for the reply. I'm glad to see other OS's can build OpenBIOS. I just hope Mac OS X will be one of them some day. My knowledge of how OpenBIOS is built is limited, so trying to fix the problem myself would be next to impossible.

I build OpenBIOS on OpenIndiana x86 (Solaris) for the Intel and SPARC 
targets.

If you look into the archives you will find that I have successfully
built OpenBIOS on Mac OS X. You need a cross-compiler either way since
you don't want to build a program that runs on OSX but a binary that can
be loaded and emulated by QEMU.

Actually I do want a binary that can run on Mac OS X. I always use the unix target when building OpenBIOS. Have you been able to build the Unix target on Mac OS X?
