If you want to have a try at fixing this, then configure.ac is the file you need to edit (try looking in FlightGear's configure.ac for inspiration), and you'll need to run ./autogen.sh before ./configure after making any changes to configure.ac. Unfortunately, the whole glut/gl section of the Atlas/FlightGear configure.ac files appears to be somewhat different - I don't think it's a matter of just dropping a mac test in from the FG one to the Atlas one. It really needs someone who know's what they're doing in this area to take a look at it.
