The first thing I would try is updating X11: http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki (The most recent version requires OS X 10.5.6, but older version are still available)
The next thing to try (which is how I first got Geany setup on Mac OS X) is building Geany as a "native" app using GTK+OSX: http://www.gtk-osx.org/ (this project does not require nor use X11) I was building GTK+ from Git and Geany from SVN over a good period of time, a while back. It was not entirely user-friendly getting to that point (using jhbuild to get and build GTK+, for example ... that required some extra hacking) And I haven't tried the GTK+ framework, but if that works, it should be much easier to use. Hopefully this provides a good starting point, at the least!
