I compile mktorrent from source using their suggested one-liner for OSX: 
make USE_PTHREADS=1 USE_OPENSSL=1 USE_LONG_OPTIONS=1
sudo make install
I have Mac OS X 10.4 running on a power pc macbook pro. When I ran mktorrent, I got an ominous error: 
Segmentation fault
When I recompiled with just: 
make USE_OPENSSL=1 USE_LONG_OPTIONS=1
sudo make install
everything worked just fine.
