That is already fiddling unfortunately.

Plain Mac OSX with XCode, no external stuff is easiest to get started,
use --disable-mozilla and off you go.

See above/the other posts. The requirement for external
autoconf/automake surely are wrong, as is the one for hunspell and
coreutils. wget and Archive::Zip again definitely are wrong. Java
Developer Package: No idea what is meant here, but unneccessary
anyway. You got a suitable JDK already on Mac.
pkgconfig is arguable, as it's handy when compiling mozilla from
scratch, as is libIDL.

You should - greatly helps to reduce buildtime, but use the current
version (It got a new maintainer lately and has made some nice
progress compared to the 2.4 release)

Again: Building on Mac is easy when you got a clean system. The more
external stuff you add, the more difficult it gets to build,
especially as LO is compiled against the 10.4uSDK, and most/all of the
external stuff is not...
