It's in /usr/bin/make on my OS X box (as well as in /Developer/usr/bin/
make)

If I recall correctly there's an option during the XCode install to
include the commandline tools, which may be what you're missing

That's the runtime. If that's not being included then your development
environment is utterly broken, and messing with configure flags won't
fix it.

Give up on postgresql/configure for now, reinstall XCode with the
commandline tools and check that you can build hello world from the
commandline. Then start over with a clean postgresql tarball.
