Hmm, I'm not sure, whether the situation improved. What happens is
that the app crashes twice. I wouldn't bet it is better :-)

In cases like this I'm always inclined to think that I myself have
done something stupid. Now I just don't know what it could be. The
output from SharedSupport/helper/pg_dump is:
jwa(at)bach:pgadmin3> cd pgAdmin3.app/Contents/SharedSupport/helper/
jwa(at)bach:helper> otool -L pg_dump
pg_dump:
@executable_path/../../../Contents/Frameworks/libpq.5.dylib
(compatibility version 5.0.0, current version 5.0.0)
@executable_path/../../../Contents/Frameworks/libssl.
0.9.8.dylib (compatibility version 0.9.8, current version 0.9.8)
@executable_path/../../../Contents/Frameworks/libcrypto.
0.9.8.dylib (compatibility version 0.9.8, current version 0.9.8)
/System/Library/Frameworks/Kerberos.framework/Versions/A/
Kerberos (compatibility version 5.0.0, current version 5.0.0)
@executable_path/../../../Contents/Frameworks/libz.1.dylib
(compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.2.3)
@executable_path/../../../Contents/Frameworks/libreadline.
5.2.dylib (compatibility version 5.0.0, current version 5.2.0)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0,
current version 88.3.9)

Looks ok to me, though I then deleted the above libraries from
Frameworks and copied the ones used by MacPorts postgresql82 port
pg_dump, and:
jwa(at)bach:Frameworks> sudo cp /opt/local/lib/postgresql82/libpq.
5.dylib /opt/local/lib/libssl.0.9.8.dylib /opt/local/lib/libcrypto.
0.9.8.dylib /opt/local/lib/libz.1.dylib /opt/local/lib/libreadline.
5.2.dylib .
jwa(at)bach:Frameworks> cd ../SharedSupport/helper/
jwa(at)bach:helper> ./pg_dump --version
pg_dump (PostgreSQL) 8.2.4

There seems then to be something with the libraries (the otool out of
SharedSupport/helper/pg_dump remaining the same), I just haven't
figured out what.

The configure phase behaves now well, as expected. Thanks! There is,
however, one slightly odd thing. In the summary there is a statement
telling that SSL support is missing based probably on:
checking for SSL_connect in -lpq... no
checking for krb5_free_principal in -lpq... no

This is certainly true in a way, as those symbols are not defined in
libpq, but in libssl and libkrb5, respectively, but they do exist,
both libraries and symbols (checked with nm -g).
