[KDE/Mac] So I think we should plan what we're going to do for the 4.1 release.

The default of MacPort is to compile from automaticly downloaded sources - 
similar to Gentoo. However thats just the default - I guess the following 
options is what you are looking for:

PACKAGING TARGETS
     There are also targets for producing installable packages of ports:

   pkg
     Creates an OS X installer package of portname.

   mpkg
     Creates an OS X installer metapackage of portname and its dependencies.

   dmg
     Creates an internet-enabled disk image containing an OS X package of
     portname.

   mdmg
     Creates an internet-enabled disk image containing an OS X metapackage of
     portname and its dependencies.

   rpm
     Creates an RPM binary package of portname, similar to a tgz "archive".

   srpm
     Creates a SRPM source package of portname, similar to a xar "portpkg".

   dpkg
     Creates a DEB binary package of portname.

It's just that someone needs to create them.
