Hmmm...  I just built a framework version.  I configured like so:

    ../configure --enable-framework='/Users/skip/Applications' \
                 --enable-shared --prefix='/Users/skip/local' \
                 CPPFLAGS='-I/Users/skip/local/include -I/opt/local/include' \
                 LDFLAGS='-L/Users/skip/local/lib -L/opt/local/lib'

No .dylib file was created.  I ran make altinstall then checked in both
/Users/skip/Applications/Python.framework and in ~/local.  Still no Python
.dylib files.  Then I scoured the Makefile looking for promising targets to
try.  I tried making both sharedmods and sharedinstall.  Nothing.

Thinking the --enable-framework and --prefix flags might mess up configure
in some way I reconfigured without specifying --prefix. make clean.  make
sharedinstall.  Still no dylib files.

Any other ideas I might try?

I finally just submitted a bug report:
