Cool.

Yes that's why I chose Darwin Ports - the packages seemed to be *far* 
more up-to-date than Fink. Of course you could now counter with "yeah 
but at least the Fink packages work". I *need* gtk-2.4 minimum, for the 
new ComboBoxEntry, which I make heavy use of ( whoever is responsible 
for that pre-2.4 abomination masquerading as a ComboBox has a lot to 
answer for ). And it would be kinda nice to stay close to the 
functionality of my main Linux dev box.

Yeah my Perl install might be a little wonky. I'm thinking of 
uninstalling the Darwin Ports install of Perl and replacing OS X's Perl 
install with the latest and greatest and re-installing everything else 
Perl-related by hand.

Darwin Ports for everything.

I'll try my idea of re-installing all Perl stuff, and if that doesn't 
work, I'll blast away /opt/local and try right from the top ... unless 
someone has a better idea. Actually maybe I should upgrade gcc while I'm 
at it. I can't even remember how long ago I was using gcc-3.3 under 
Gentoo, but the thought of it makes the hair raise on the back of my neck.

Anyway, whatever happens, I'm not too concerned. I've been looking for a 
decent excuse to repartition and install OS X next to a nice Gentoo PPC 
partition :)
