2.4.9 actually had far fewer build issues than newer versions. This JHbuild
entry works:
https://github.com/jralls/gtk-osx-build/blob/master/modulesets/gtk-osx-network.modules#L131-L162

Only one patch to 2.4.9 is needed if you use the combination of autogenargs
mentioned above:
https://github.com/jralls/gtk-osx-build/blob/master/patches/webkit-140167-disable-netscape-api.patch
I haven't recently tried with gstreamer enabled, but it did work at one
point. I might suggest trying to build with gstreamer disabled first and
then go from there.

(For your reference, the JHbuild instructions on OS X are here:
