Maybe this should be documented in the INSTALL file :

[...]
Some influential environment variables:
   CC          C compiler command
   CFLAGS      C compiler flags
   LDFLAGS     linker flags, e.g. -L<lib dir> if you have libraries in a
               nonstandard directory <lib dir>
   CPPFLAGS    C/C++ preprocessor flags, e.g. -I<include dir> if you have
               headers in a nonstandard directory <include dir>
   CPP         C preprocessor

Here, with X11 and ghostscript installed, configure ends with :

External libraries: lablgl bmp ppm xpm freetype(2) ps

So I think that if you have a standard installation (which does _not_ 
include X11 by default) then you get only the minimum listed in the 
INSTALL files, that is BMP, PPM, PGM, PBM.

I don't think libpng is present on the system, it is not in /usr/lib. 
And if you look at
the output of

 > otool -L /System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/AppKit

you will see that the AppKit is not dynamically linked against any 
libpng. If you grep for 'png' in the output of

 > nm /System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/AppKit

you'll see the symbols of png's api so it must be statically linked in 
the Appkit.

Greetings,

P.S. More about that warning in man ld
