Hopefully someone better informed can add to this, as I don't do Mac (or 
indeed, slaveryware at all) software, but here's a quick turn-around 
first reply based on what someone posted.

IIRC, someone mentioned doing exactly that, compiling directly, no Fink 
or whatever, when posting a question a few weeks ago.  I remember it 
since that was the first time I knew it was possible.  Maybe he's still 
around and can help you out with the details.
