Here's what Ariel Rios <ariel@arcavia.com> had to say about the problem:

"I was helped by jsergent and found that the PPC problem I was having  is
originated to some configure.in problems in evolution. For some reason, nautilus is
not capable of locating the correct location of the IDL_CFLAGS if bonobo was
installed in a different prefix from ORBit.

Evolution solves this by 'manually' calling gnome-conf to get the
correct IDL_CFLAGS in each subdir makefile which seems to be suboptimal since it is 
better to have that done inside configure.in"
