Lion (OS X 10.7) apparently requires a different compiler for ffmpeg.
You need to add this to your configure options: --cc-clang
Also, depending on your processor, you may want --arch=x86_64
instead of --arch=x86

The rest of this is not mac-specific, and I know most here understand
this stuff better than I do and will hopefully correct me if I am wrong:

--enable-nonfree: you don't need or want this since you are not using libfaac
--enable-runtime-cpudetect: this is probably mostly if you are building a 
portable binary.  If it's just for your machine, things may be faster if you
remove this.
--enable-avfilter: This option is not in config --help, and I believe it is on
by default.
--enable-filters: Ditto.
