I've had, since some month, GNUstep working on Darwin-8 x86 (no OS X) on a box 
with a mainboard similar to the apple developer platform.
I've installed it using Darwinports, a patched ffcall (that I can sent you, if 
you want) and GNUstep from CVS. Startup didn't work, for me.
I've encoutered the same problem, some days ago, when I removed my sources 
directory and then checked out all the stuff again; I can't tell you why, but 
the problem has been fixed updating to an older version (cvs -t update -Pd -D 
2005-11-15), building all and, then, updating to the last version and rebuiding 
again all.

What I can say, due of my experience, is that GNUstep and all its applications 
can work perfectly on your platform.
