Try'd it myself (on 10.2.8), but I have encourterd several errors.. 
first of all the error you describe :

If you run gcc with gcc -v ( cd src && gcc -v  -o .libs/mod_cgi.so 
-bundle  .libs/cgi.o )
you'll see it's really a ld linking error. Run the ld command but add 
the ' -t ' option
to see what is causing the error. You'll see it can't resolv the 
symbols which are defined
in src/array.h. This mean's they should be in src/.libs/array.o  but 
that file is not yet there.
This is probebly a dependency error in the autoconf / automake / 
configure or any of the files
generated by it. Since it totaly dislike autoconf/automake and know it 
will take me a couple of days to
find out where the problem is (I like to spend my time programming 
instead of fooling around with
autoconf/automake/etc all the time :( )

You could download the leatest version of autoconf, en generate a new 
configure.in file. You can't
use the default autoconf with fink, because it's to old.. It will die a 
horrible dead if you try to
do so anyway.

Another problem is that some other thing go wrong with the 
network_write.c because it there's no
sendfile() support on Mac OS X. Try'd several sendfile() directive's in 
config.h to no avail.

You might wan't to try to use the FreeBSD port collection to compile 
lighttpd .. might work.

I'll try harder to port it to Mac OS X when I have some time.
