Create a file in your PATH called pngtopnm.  Make sure it comes before
the real pngtopnm program.  Putting it in $HOME/bin/  would hopefully
work, but since I don't have a mac any more I can't guarantee that.

Copy&paste the two lines into this file.  Make the file executable with
  chmod +x pngtopnm

There's a reason that I've never recommended that people on osx try to
compile lilypond.  Remember, this is a task that I considered so
complicated that I never did it myself -- despite running the entire
GDP on a mac.
