This, apparently, was the problem. org-mode comes with a Makefile  
which has a line

EMACS=emacs

and I have set up a link

/usr/bin/emacs -> /Applications/Aquamacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Aquamacs

Calling emacs that way results in:

Error: charsets directory (/Users/dr/Nightly/Cocoa23ub/aquamacs- 
emacs.git/nextstep/Aquamacs.app/Contents/Resources/share/emacs/23.1/ 
etc/charsets) does not exist.

I realize that this was not a particularly clever thing to do - sorry.  
If I configure org-mode's Makefile as

EMACS="/Applications/Aquamacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Aquamacs"

org-mode is build correctly.

Warm regards,
  Stefan
