David,
I had exactly the same problem. It turns out in my case the problem
is that the new version of ExtUtils::ParseXS is being installed into /
Library/Perl rather than /Library/Perl/Updates and since the @INC
search path is /Library/Perl/Updates, then /System/Library/Perl (where
the old, incompatible version lives) followed by /Library/Perl the Wx
build process finds the wrong one.
I was able to work around the problem (after installing all the
necessary modules to satisfy the dependencies) by running the "perl
Makefile.PL" step from inside the unpacked Wx-0.9701 directory like
this:
PERL5LIB=/Library/Perl /usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL --wx-toolkit=mac
Which allowed the newer, correct version of ExtUtils::ParseXS to be
found. That followed by a normal make and make install worked just
fine for me.

Thanks so much this steers me in the correct direction :)
