I followed the instructions to install electric turtle (http://www.ros.org/wiki/electric/Installation/OSX) on OS X 10.7. It turns out that wxWidgets/wxPython wasn’t really a problem, because the MacPorts version defaults to using gtk rather than Carbon. I also tried the 2.9 development version of wxPython and compile everything with the Cocoa backend rather than Carbon or gtk, but that seemed very unstable: many of the wxPython sample programs crashed.
I compiled all ports as 64-bit. Below are some more detailed notes. In the end rviz compiles, but crashes when I try to run it. I see the start-up window and then it dies with this trace:

Maybe there is still something wrong in the way Ogre is built/installed/linked?
* Installed Cg framework from NVIDIA in /Library/Frameworks, used install_name_tool to set rpath to /Library/Frameworks/Cg.framework
* MacPorts
Applied patch to gtk2 port: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/30281
Added ports for ogre and tinyxml. The ogre port does *not* include libOIS, which depends on Carbon.
Fixed collada-dom port
Removed assimp, eigen3, collada-dom from manifest files and installed corresponding ports.
* ROS
rosconsole: used g++-4.2 rather than c++ (= llvm-g++-4.2) to avoid internal compiler error
urdf, urdf_parser, rviz:
add "add_definitions(-DTIXML_USE_STL)" to CMakeLists.txt
