Well, you could try `./configure powerpc-apple-auxMacOSX'.
A slight lie, since MacOSX isn't really A/UX, but close enough
to the truth, and I don't think much of our code depends on it.

In the long term we need to update config.sub with one that knows
about MacOS X.  I'll bet the config.sub in the latest CVS version 
of autoconf probably has MacOSX support.
