Krita on Mac OSX?

There is a version available with fink which works using X11 (not native). And 
for next version, there are snapshots here [1]. 

> Does it run well on the mac? 
So for current stable, not so well as you have to bear with X11. As for the 
next version, only the future can tell :)

It's quiet "not easy". There are some instructions on KDE's wiki [2], as for 
myself I am stuck just after building Qt4, as I have OSX10.3 and the cmake of 
fink for 10.3 is outdated, and I don't have enought motivation to fix that :/

> Can you do it through fink?
Not the final steps. But thanksfully a lot of libraries can be builded with 
fink.
