Actually jhbuild shell doesn't seem to be necessary anymore to build Geany under OSX....from http://www.gtk-osx.org/ you can download a nice and convenient .dmg file that seems to install all the necessary framework files...in my first tries I fiddled around with jhbuild but it's not required for building Geany these days, as far as I can tell. Maybe I'll take a deeper look at the other integration packages (osx theme sounds interesting...) in the near future but now I have some Python coding to do...which was the reason for installing Geany in the first place ;) (before the whole trouble started *g).
Oh, and what about creating a nice Geany .dmg package for the OSX community? ;-) ...maybe there are some other users interested..so we could combine efforts..
May the Source Be With You! :)

Success!
first of all I'd like to thank you Nick & Jason for the hints! Building Geany natively under OSX with GTK+ (without X11) sounded fine to me..so I started again from scratch and deleted my previous attempts & macports.
Here's what I did:
- installed GTK+ from http://www.gtk-osx.org/
- downloaded the latest Geany SVN Version again
- ran ./autogen.sh in Terminal again and got the following error:
.... checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for GTK... configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.8.0) were not met:
No package 'gtk+-2.0' found...
- fired up Finder to search for gtk, found it under <myuser>/gtk
- added the path in Terminal by typing: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=<myuser>/gtk/inst/lib/pkgconfig/
- checked it with: pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0 Output: 2.16.2
-so there we are! -then I ran configure, make and sudo make install again
-->Success! Geany executable is under /usr/local/bin/geany and runs fine now!
Maybe this little "Howto" can push the other OS X users (are there any? ;) ) into the right direction...
Thanks again and have a nice day! Oliver
Glad you got it working! I'm not sure if gtk-osx still uses jhbuild shell (it probably does for building it and dependencies) but it at least provides a full environment to build GTK+ apps on OS X. There were also some related packages from the same group (Imendio) to build OS X application packages, a more OS X-alike GTK+ theme, and an integration package to use the OS X menu bar and Dock.
It was enough to get the look-and-feel just about right, but again I don't know how much progress has been made on those side-projects.
Happy hacking! :)
