Comment (by hinder):

 As pointed out by Roland in #1657, there is no configure script, so gcc is
 used.  This means the Apple gcc, which in my case is "Apple LLVM version
 5.1 (clang-503.0.40) (based on LLVM 3.4svn)".  When I modify the Makefile
 to use the MacPorts gcc, it then claims
 {{{
 -n Configuring libpci for your system...
  x86_64--darwin 13.3.0 x86_64 darwin
 -n Looking for access methods...
  Unfortunately, your OS is not supported by the PCI Library
 }}}
 Indeed, the pciutils homepage (http://mj.ucw.cz/sw/pciutils/) does not
 list Mac OS as a supported platform.  So it looks like the pciutils build
 system works as designed when using the MacPorts gcc.

 Since pciutils does not support Mac OS, and since I would like the ET to
 build out of the box on Mac OS, what is the best way to make that happen?
