DarwinPorts is in the same class as Fink: it is something that you  
should not rely on.  It may well be worth using what the DarwinPorts  
maintainers have discovered about building GCL on Mac OS X (as we  
have done in the past with Singular and Macaulay2, from Fink), but  
you can't rely on, and I think, force upon the SAGE user, the use of  
anything from DarwinPorts itself.

Since Waqar is now involved, this may be a moot point :-}
