I'm running makecat as root, and setting it up for U
mode.

I think most of the makecat process completed.  It
seemed to be trying to set up interchange.cfg right
before I got the uninitialized value errors, so I
copied one from the dist and tried to start IC as
root:

The Interchange server must not be run as root.

and then as interch (my Interchange and Catalog user):

Could not open error file
'/usr/local/interchange/error.log':
Permission denied

Like you said, I think my permissions and maybe
ownerships may be very wrong.  I haven't been paying
attention to them at all throughout this process.

My error log is this:

-rw-r--r--

and everything in /usr/local/interchange is root and
root (ls -alF).  The first denotes ownership and the
second is what?
