Go to the turbogears file section and download an appropriate version of 
simplejson:

I presume sj-1.7.4 is sufficient.

Alternatively, be gentle to your unixish OS that OS X is, and install 
XCode. Which will install the whole GCC chain, making your OS a 
respected member of OS-community - as every system should be able to 
compile C-code, in which itself has been written.

Then the install should work as well.
