going from memory:

0) cd to the directory containing the cvs source

1) build the kernel

$ cd ccl/lisp-kernel/darwin
$ make
$ cd ../../
$ export CCL_DEFAULT_DIRECTORY=`pwd`
$ openmcl
Welcome to OpenMCL ....
? (ccl:xload-level-0 :force)
? (ccl:compile-ccl t)
? (quit)
$ ./dppccl ppc-boot
...
...
? (ccl:save-application "dppccl.image")
$ 

you'll now have a kernel and heap image from the latest sources.
