We default to install to the user's Applications directory for system
cleanliness.

You should not have needed to change any lines if you checked out the latest
revision from subversion as it would have set the i386 architecture and
reflected this in the cmake output. Worked ok on my Intel machine last night
(ie, when I did not set -DWANT_UNIVERSALBUNDLE=1 on command line). I may
have to adjust that line regarding the toolkit used, I just don't have a
"clean" Leopard mac to test on right now :(.

aspell and boost are optional. Adding aspell and one of the aspell-dict-*
packages will give you spell checking. boost will in turn give you libgeom
and hence the more advanced frame shape manipulation tools. Neither of these
affect your issue.
