You not giving enough hints on what you did to follow these steps. I had 
a quick look at my checked out version of osirix and there openjpeg does 
only exists as a zip file. you will have to extract that first before 
GNUstep will be able to compile it. Maybe there is a task in the Xcode 
project to do that, but I am not sure whether GNUstep's pbxbuild will be 
able to do this by itself. If these files are missing you should get 
plenty of warnings long before this step.

As Eric already pointed out you should be asking your questions at the 
Osirix mailing list. We are definitely willing to work together with the 
Osirix developers to get this software to compile on GNUstep, but at 
least one person involved in that process should know something about 
the build process.
