This is running your already not-quite-correctly-installed hg, which
isn't finding its libraries. You need to either set PYTHONPATH to
include /usr/local/python<mumble> (OSX default Python install has dumb
defaults) or override PREFIX in the Makefile:

make PREFIX=/usr/

Because the make process calls hg for version info, you may need to run
it twice to get the version info to stick.
