Renè isn't doing the individual standalone OS X packages, which should have
the tight host integration. Other people are doing that.

He's doing macports which is *very* different. Macports even has X11 and
Fluxbox.
If you're running kate on X with a fluxbox WM, having native OS X
integration just because of your kernel doesn't make too much sense.
