It seems like this is mainly a documentation issue. The Mac OS X
installation guide in the wiki
(http://www.freeciv.org/index.php/Install-MacOSX) specifically tells us
to run ./configure with --disable-nls.

Localization appears to be working now. Only a few oddities:

A few seconds into the compiling process, OSX hits me with an error box
saying "The application Xquartz has unexpectedly quit" (see attached
png). I don't know whether this is related to Freeciv or not, but I've
never seen it before, less recognize the name of the failing app.

Secondly, I'm getting hundreds of warnings during compiling I don't
recognize from before. For example: 

climisc.c:295: warning: passing arg 3 of `my_snprintf' makes pointer
from integer without a cast


I'll report back here if I encounter anything else!
