I've submitted Gambit as a proposed new port [1] for inclusion in the
MacPorts packaging system [2].

Once the port is accepted, installing Gambit on a Mac OS X system will
be as simple as:

  # sudo port install gambit-c

I had to do quite a bit of patching [3] of the installation paths in
the makefiles to comply with the MacPorts directory structure. Perhaps
some of the changes, like prefixing installation paths with
$(DESTDIR), could be integrated into future Gambit versions to ensure
easier interoperability with various packaging systems including
MacPorts.

Cheers,
Arto
