I used to have a working installation on Mac OS X 10.5.6, so it's certainly possible. After a drive failure I have to reinstall everything, so I'm working with the visual guide in the wiki to make sure that it's accurate.
So far I've found that the jpeglib instructions aren't complete, and it's a slow process checking things.
As for GD, I seem to remember that apart from the Perl interface to GD, you also need to install the GD library itself. But I haven't got to that bit yet, so I have no more to go on than vague memories.

Alas, I'm running up against issues with getting the GD module in Perl working; I'm running Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.7 and I've installed seemingly everything needed to make it work, EXCEPT this module. I seem to be running up against an insurmountable bug.
I've installed X11, the X11 SDK, Fink, MacPorts, and I've followed the instructions in the MobiPerl page and on the MobieRead wiki. All attempts hang at making the GD module work. Here's what I see when trying to do the install using CPAN (I know it's long, but for completeness' sake ...)
