So far how trying to get a first experience on a Mac without
installing vmware or Linux or boot a Life-CD.

I think we should
1. find who has written the first set of Portfiles
2. adapt/correct them so that it really compiles with the latest
stable versions
3. find a mechanism to connect updates in stable to create new
Portfiles (maybe the maintainer has a Makefile that automates this
process?)
4. add a version that builds from trunk (so that we do not run in the
same problem as on Debian-stable that the stable GNUstep packages are
1,5 years old)
