I don't think that a upstream developer should be also responsible of 
packaging applications for every platform/packaging system in the world.

I've ported KMid (in extragear/multimedia, current release: 2.3.0) to Mac OSX 
and Windows, offering the same user experience on each platform as the Linux 
version has. I think it is easy enough to compile it anywhere. Being myself a 
Linux user, I've also published quick and dirty packages for Ubuntu and 
openSUSE, but this is clearly a job for somebody else doing it better by 
focusing on a single platform and packaging standard.

I'm willing to provide help, support and advice to anybody wanting to make 
Fink/Macports packages for KMid. Volunteers?
