But Qt/Mac/KDE (ie this project) runs a very fine line between the type of
stuff available on Fink and clearly non-Fink Mac software. It requires
source from many of the same things (eg standard KDE)... It just puts them
into bundles at the end of the process...

<sigh>

Must admit I haven't investigated enough in this area. Downloads
"darwinports" and couldn't get it to compile stuff... Fink seemed more
straight forward.
Anyway as long as the compile can be automated to a great degree, I'm
getting happier and happier. :)
