I highly recommend that under OS X people use Xcode from Mac App Store (seriously, that's a one-click install).
For GNUstep work, I used VirtualBox with Ubuntu. But if you do succeed in your quest to have a reproducibly buildable and functional GNUstep under OS X, you'd help a lot of people iterate faster (including, based on sights seen at devmeeting in Cambridge, a lot of core developers).
