Here's a quick howto how I build dynamically linked lxml eggs under  
Macosx 10.4.

Python is version 2.5 universal binary form python.org
Via macports I installed libxml2 as an universal variant (+universal)  
and also the other needed libraries.
I made sure that xml2-config from macports is found BEFORE the stock  
xml2-config in /usr/bin.
Then I just called python setup.py bdist_egg to compile it.
make test shows that 2.6.31 is used from macports but shows a bus  
error at the "test_inplace" test though.
Apart from that I haven't noticed any problems.

Kind regards,
Michael
