Uh ... what is the "pkgsrc build system", and what changes does it make
to a straight-from-source PG build?

What you've apparently got here is a problem with shared-library
building, but it's odd that it would've got through the "creating
conversions" step, which also relies heavily on shared libraries.

I find this pretty suspicious. On my OSX machine, the contents of the
pkglibdir directory are all named something.so:
$ ls version83/lib/postgresql
ascii_and_mic.so* utf8_and_euc_cn.so*
cyrillic_and_mic.so* utf8_and_euc_jis_2004.so*
dict_snowball.so* utf8_and_euc_jp.so*
euc_cn_and_mic.so* utf8_and_euc_kr.so*
euc_jis_2004_and_shift_jis_2004.so* utf8_and_euc_tw.so*
euc_jp_and_sjis.so* utf8_and_gb18030.so*
euc_kr_and_mic.so* utf8_and_gbk.so*
euc_tw_and_big5.so* utf8_and_iso8859.so*
latin2_and_win1250.so* utf8_and_iso8859_1.so*
latin_and_mic.so* utf8_and_johab.so*
pgxs/ utf8_and_shift_jis_2004.so*
plpgsql.so* utf8_and_sjis.so*
utf8_and_ascii.so* utf8_and_uhc.so*
utf8_and_big5.so* utf8_and_win.so*
utf8_and_cyrillic.so*

Notice also the lack of the "lib" prefix. The source code that you are
quoting should look like this:
CREATE FUNCTION dsnowball_init(INTERNAL)
RETURNS INTERNAL AS '$libdir/dict_snowball', 'dsnowball_init'
LANGUAGE C STRICT;
so how did it get to be 'libdir/libdict_snowball'?
It looks to me like you are using code that someone has hacked up to try
to impose their own ideas of how to build/name shared libraries for OS X,
and done a pretty darn poor job of it.
Recommendation: get an unmodified copy of Postgres and build it
yourself. It works fine out-of-the-box on OS X.
