Well, the next release of Krita (3.1) should support OSX fully. We're no longer really 
facing problems with building or packaging, but real bugs: missing support for OpenGL 3.0
Compatibility Profile on OSX, weird interactions between Qt and the touchpad, stuff like
that.

Well, there's still weirdnesses going on with the rpath, but I solved that by running
a fix-up script after doing a make install.

I am still grateful for kate on OSX and Windows because I do have to use those platforms
to build Krita, and all the other editors are !@#$%.

As for me, I wouldn't use macports or similar tools to build my dependencies on OSX -- I
found them adding a lot of unknowns to my builds.
