The misaligned pointer warning is more often than not just a red
herring. And on x86 it's no problem anyway, since it can handle
unaligned data.
The hang/freeze problems are likely due to the fact this format does not
auto-tune and the default GWS of 9216 will hang most GPU's weaker than
state-of-the-art, and often takes the whole system down as collateral
damage. Export GWS=512 (or so) or add a line in john.conf, section
[Options:OpenCL] that says dmg_GWS = 512 (or so).

If you install a real gcc (which I do recommend for OSX), why not use a
much newer version? For best performance, use eg. 4.7 and the -native
build target. See bottom section of doc/INSTALL.

Only a last resort.

Hm, so this was what you meant with gcc 4.2. Try this:
$ brew install llvm-gcc-28
$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/llvm-gcc28/2.8/bin/llvm-gcc
/usr/bin/llvm-gcc-4.2
Works like a champ here with default Makefile. But I *only* use that
bastard for CUDA. My normal "gcc" is a symlink in /usr/local/bin/gcc
that points to (Homebrew) gcc-4.7 in the same directory - and
/usr/local/bin is first in my path. And I build
macosx-x86-64-native-gpu, which give me both CUDA and OpenCL support at
once.

This hints about the ancient native OpenSSL being used instad of a
decent version. I don't think it matters for DMG but you can fix it like
this:
$ brew install openssl
$ ln -s /usr/local/opt/openssl/ /usr/local/ssl
Phew. I should update that OSX section of doc/INSTALL.

Like I said, it's probably the GWS figure that's too high. try this:
$ GWS=128 ./john --format=dmg-opencl --wordlist=/WList
/run/output_single.txt
/Users/kris/Dropbox/Public/jeff-sparsebundle-hash/hash
Check for lag of response when pressing a key for status. If it's
immediate, try doubling that GWS value. If response lags more than 5-10
seconds the GWS is too high.
