The Mac build available on the site is not a well formed Mac package.
Mac is treated like all the Unix builds which means an executable you
run from the command line. If you just execute it from CLI it will ask
where you want to install Pike.

The "macports" part is that it depends on att least libnettle and
libgmp from macports to be installed in /opt/local to work properly.

The only reason I upload that half-broken thing is that it has been
requested by people that are fine with it. Hopefully someone will get
time to teach the build machines how to make real Mac packages
eventually.
