 It is well known that OpenVRML currently needs a lot of memory to compile
 and some work work has been done to reduce that in future versions, see
 [http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=1222495081.13589.54.camel%40hinge.endoframe.net&forum_name
 =openvrml-develop]. But I don't think that the bus error is caused by a
 memory problem. Can anybody else try to compile OpenVRML on Mac OS X
 10.4.11?

 I would propose to add  the following to the Portfile (like in the xaos
 port):

 {{{
 platform macosx {
         if {[file exists ${prefix}/lib/pkgconfig/x11.pc]} {
                 configure.args-append   --x-includes=${prefix}/include \
                         --x-libraries=${prefix}/lib
         } else {
                 configure.args-append   --x-includes=${x11prefix}/include
 \
                         --x-libraries=${x11prefix}/lib
         }
 }
 }}}

 Could you test if this works for you?
