Oh, I understand. But I have some different information than what Mike  
is saying. A while ago I was in need of dejagnu on Darwin 6.8/ppc (Mac  
OS 10.2.8) so I tried to install it and everything it needs. The  
current version of expect from this time (5.40.0) was not aware of  
Darwin:

[Lars-Sonchocky-Helldorfs-Computer:Projekte/dejaGNU/expect-5.40] lars%  
./configure --disable-shared --with-tcl=/opt/local/lib/  
--with-tclinclude=/Volumes/Data/Projekte/darwinports/dports/lang/tcl/ 
work/tcl8.4.5/generic/ --prefix=/opt/test/
configuring Expect 5.40.0
checking for autoconf... yes
checking configure up to date... yes
checking host system type... Invalid configuration  
`powerpc-apple-darwin6.8': system `darwin6.8' not recognized

checking target system type... Invalid configuration  
`powerpc-apple-darwin6.8': system `darwin6.8' not recognized

checking build system type... Invalid configuration  
`powerpc-apple-darwin6.8': system `darwin6.8' not recognized

I got in contact with the Author of expect and he even happened to have  
a Mac :-) but he didn't figure out how to install the developer tools  
on it. I told him how to do it and never heard from him again ... this  
was in february this year. So I assumed nothing has changed so far.
