I've found that to use Mercury effectively on MacOSX, I use the 
gcc_select (found in /usr/sbin, must be run with root privileges):

gcc_select 2

This sets the gcc version to 2.95.2 which I believe does work (last time 
I checked). A nuisance if you are doing other things that require gcc 
version 3.

I started to look into getting it going properly on gcc version 3 
(looking into the `-traditional-cpp' can of worms), but haven't had the 
time to look at this properly.

Cheers,
Roy.
