Looking at config.log, I see errors like

  ld: warning: in /Users/robgray/petsc-3.0.0/darwin10.8.0-c-opt/lib/libpetscsnes.dylib, file was built for i386 which is not the architecture being linked (x86_64)

which suggests that there is something odd about your petsc install.
I suspect that you have 32 bit compilers in /usr/local/gfortran.  What
is the output of

  file /usr/local/gfortran/bin/gcc

The Gale configure script is using the system mpicxx, which is 64 bit.
If you have a c++ compiler in /usr/local/gfortran, you can force Gale
to use it with the option

  --cxx=/usr/local/gfortran/bin/g++

In any case, is there a reason that you are not using Apple's
compiler?  Do you need Fortran?  Is it that you want to use parallel
direct solvers?  You do not want to sign up with ADC?
