well, i'm partly successful here. i managed to store all directly linked 
libraries into an app with the rkward executable and fix the links -- the size 
of it all is just 77MB so far. if you're interested, here's the script:
 http://reaktanz.de/stuff/R/RKWard/mac_app_bundle_rkward.sh
 (run it without options to get usage info)

but it doesn't cover the katepart yet, so when the app is starting (with 
/opt/rkward renamed or removed), it immediately crashes because katepart won't 
be loaded. how exactly is katepart invoked/embedded into RKWard? are there any 
hard-coded paths in rkward, rkward.frontend or rkward.rbackend, e.g., from 
configure or compile time?
