I checked my Intel build, it does not use ATLAS and was built using  
following snippet from the info file

--------- snip ----------
ConfigureParams:
c = FLIBS=%p/lib/gcc4.3/lib/libgfortran.dylib F77=%p/bin/gfortran -- 
infodir='${prefix}/share/info' --mandir='${prefix}/share/man' -- 
libexecdir='${prefix}/lib' -enable-shared -enable-dl --disable-static  
--without-mpi --with-hdf5 --with-fftw
CompileScript: <<
  #!/bin/sh -ev
  export CFLAGS='-O3'
  export CXXFLAGS='-O3'
  export FFLAGS='-O3'
  if [ "%type_pkg[-atlas]" == "" ]
	then a='--with-lapack=-Wl,-framework,Accelerate,-dylib_file,/System/ 
Library/Frameworks/Accelerate.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ 
vecLib.framework/Versions/A/libLAPACK.dylib:/System/Library/Frameworks/ 
Accelerate.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/vecLib.framework/Versions/A/ 
libLAPACK.dylib --with-blas=-Wl,-framework,Accelerate,-dylib_file,/ 
System/Library/Frameworks/Accelerate.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ 
vecLib.framework/Versions/A/libBLAS.dylib:/System/Library/Frameworks/ 
Accelerate.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/vecLib.framework/Versions/A/ 
libBLAS.dylib'
	else a='--with-lapack=%p/lib/liblapack.dylib --with-blas=%p/lib/ 
libf77blas.dylib'
  fi
  ./configure %c $a
  make
--------- snip ----------

The %c refers to "ConfigParams" and ${prefix} is "/sw"

I'll try building the Atlas version on my ppc tonight and report the  
results tomorrow.
