DarwinPorts does not host binary packages. Fink hosts binary versions 
of their packages... eventually... but these were generated using 
DarwinPorts, which uses a different path prefix from Fink. Fink also 
does not use these double-clickable installers like DarwinPorts can 
produce. osxgnu ( http://www.osxgnu.org/ ) hosts binary packages, but 
I'm not sure whether they'd host something generated by DarwinPorts.

What more do you want me to do? I've contacted all the people I can and 
no one seems to know why it works like that or give a shit.

Whatever. I made these so that my users could get gtkmm installed. I've 
battled with this stuff for so long with so many unhelpful people I 
honestly don't care whether they're "officially" distributed anywhere. 
I have something which works, so that's good enough to get Gabber2 on 
OS X. I'm done as far as I'm concerned.
