I cannot help you with respect to Leopard and other four-legged cats ;-) but
when I added rsprng (and hence sprng) to Debian years ago, I mod'ed the sprng
Makefile etc to make it cope with the standard so that it would build on all
11 or 12 Debian architectures.  Now, these are all Linux -- but they span
tiny to large systems and do work on a number of 64 bit systems.  You could
glance at the diff and see if it helps.

You can start e.g. here 
  http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/sprng
and fetch the .diff.gz from the bar on the right.
