Humm, that's the configure line I use for vlc on OSX:

./configure --enable-debug --disable-x11 --disable-xvideo --disable-glx
--enable-sdl --enable-mad --enable-libdvbpsi --enable-a52
--disable-dvdplay --enable-dvdnav --disable-dvdread --enable-ffmpeg
--enable-faad --enable-flac --enable-vorbis --enable-speex --enable-theora
--enable-ogg --enable-shout --enable-cddb --disable-cddax --enable-vcdx
--disable-skins --disable-skins2 --disable-wxwidgets --enable-freetype
--enable-fribidi --enable-caca --enable-live555 --enable-dca --enable-goom
--enable-modplug --enable-gnutls --enable-daap --enable-ncurses
--enable-libtwolame --disable-x264 --enable-png --enable-realrtsp
--enable-lua --disable-libtool --enable-csri --enable-asademux
--enable-dirac

Do you use contribs? I do. And i don't have Fink or Macports.

I'll commit a fix for that in minutes.
