It looks like it's not finding your Xpm library.  On my Mac OS X 10.5 
system, it exists at /usr/X11/lib:

$ ls -1 /usr/X11/lib/libXpm*
/usr/X11/lib/libXpm.4.11.0.dylib
/usr/X11/lib/libXpm.4.dylib
/usr/X11/lib/libXpm.dylib
/usr/X11/lib/libXpm.la

Maybe your extensions/config or extensions/configure files are not set 
up correctly to include this location?  For example, in 
extensions/config/CONFIG_SITE.Host.Darwin and 
extensions/configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.darwin-ppc.darwin-ppc, check the 
X11_LIB, X11_INC, XPM_LIB, and XPM_INC variables.  Or maybe the SDDS 
build files are not picking this location up correctly for the build?
