Dear Tim,

Why do you think so?
Yes, manually installing all dependencies of Poppler and
python-poppler-qt4 can be a pain.
But MacPorts provides Poppler since long time, and now, with my
Portfiles, also python-poppler-qt4 and frescobaldi can be installed
through MacPorts with just a couple of commands.

Neither would I.
But I don't think it is worth the effort (also because it would mean a
lot more platform-specific code).
Best wishes.
