Until Eric tells what his config.log file says about the error, all one 
can do is guessing. Here is my guess:

Try to run configure with the following command:

./configure --x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib

If this works, then here is the explanation: The recent X11 updates from 
macosforge come without some components (xmkmf) that have traditionally 
been used by configure scripts to locate the X11 installation. The 
result is that a simple "./configure" will no longer work for software 
that uses X11.

Now I don't know what version of X11 Eric has installed, but in any case 
if you want to build xv on Leopard with X11 updated from 
xquartz.macosforge, you need the above flags.
