may help you with the PNG driver problem.  Note that it might be a smidge out 
of date, since it references PGPLOT perl module version 2.19. 

If you're compiling from source on 64-bit architecture, go to the drivers 
directory in your PGPLOT source and grep '64-bit'.  There are a few lines that 
need to be edited in this case.  Don't think the null driver should be one of 
them, though.

Wish I could help you more with the MacOS X issues, but I just used MacPorts.  
I know you're morally opposed and everything, but maybe even looking at how 
they do their installs will give you some pointers.

cheers,
Derek
