Depends on what you want to do. If you just want to compile and run GNUstep programs on your OS X system, my personal recommendation is to use the gnustep port from MacPorts (formerly DarwinPorts). Works nicely here on a PowerBook for me.
Otherwise, the main problem is that GNUstep requires the GNU Objective-C runtime system, which is not available with Apple's gcc compiler. So one of the first things you want to do is to build gcc from the FSF with Objective C support. In addition, you need to compile libffi, which is part of gcc (look here http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/discuss-gnustep/2006-10/ msg00047.html for a note on building libffi). I think starting with these (and installing the other required software via MacPorts or Fink) you should be able to build GNUstep.
