i abandoned darwin for sake of ease and use fink/X11 rather well for PiDiP, pdp etc. As for other unix apps i have found Fink very handy in building fossa, snd, atsh, freewrl,OSG etc...
still would love to get my 2|6 card working properly in pd OSX though :-)

Which system of *Nix ports for OSX have people been most successful with? I mean for getting all the dependencies down to install more audio/multimedia stuff on top of.
Darwinports looks OK for basic libs, Fink seems really messy but maybe more complete, and OSXGentoo is more of a proof-of-concept than something usable as far as I can see. Suggestions in this department.
...fink is what I've used for the last 4 years...I've had no
"show-stopper" problems, just make sure you're grabbing from
cvs/rsync...it also installs both dylibs and statics, and dylibs will be linked against before statics (unless you make things explicit), but this is only meaningful if you are looking into portability between machines...Yeah, fink works well for me too. I am a big Debian fan, so its nice to have the same system on OSX too.
