Ah, thanks, John. Building it now.
For some reason, Python was automatically built for me when I last built my environment (under 10.6) using the following:
jhbuild bootstrap --ignore-system
jhbuild build
And when .jhbuildrc-custom defined modules as follows:
modules = [ "meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap", "meta-gtk-osx-core", "meta-gtk-osx-python", "librsvg", "meta-gtk-osx-themes", "gtk-quartz-engine" ]
Was python previously a hard dependency of meta-gtk-osx-python or bootstrap, where it is not now?

Firstly, I've pulled in MacOS10.5.sdk and gcc-4.0 from Xcode 3.2.6, and set the appropriate environment variables for CC and CXX. However, jhbuild does not seem to build a python, even though I've set _gtk_osx_use_jhbuild_python = True, and included meta-gtk-osx-python in my modules array.

To build Python, specify it in your list of modules.... and for building Gnucash, there's no need to build meta-gtk-osx-python unless you're going to write GUI elements in Python, so you can just say "jhbuild build python gnucash".

Python2.7 is new to Lion, so it's built with a target of 10.7; you might try building against Python2.6, but I suspect that its target is 10.6. Leopard shipped with Python2.5, which Lion doesn't include. (Interestingly, Lion also doesn't include Python3. I guess Apple decided that not enough people were using it yet and they needed to keep the download size under control.)
