Read the updated Mac/README for more information about framework builds.   
Here's a sample configure I use to minimize the chances of pollution 
from other installed Pythons:

BASEDIR="$(dirname $(pwd -P))"
[ -n "${BASEDIR}" ] && ./configure --enable-universalsdk 
--with-universal-archs=intel 
--enable-framework="${BASEDIR}"/root/Library/Frameworks 
--with-framework-name=pytest_10_7 --with-pydebug && rm -rf 
"${BASEDIR}"/root/* || echo "ERROR: configure failed"

This is for 3.3 on 10.7.  For 3.2 and 2.7 at the moment you also need to 
explicitly set MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.7 and CC=clang.

The framework path probably needs to be an absolute path, BTW.
