Nope.

I prefer fink, but there are a few packages that darwin ports

Let the Fink maintainer(s) of the packages know which ones.  It
shouldn't be too much of a hassle to update them, then.

Fink's looks to be new enough.  Do you have pygtk2-py24-dev installed?

Unfortunately, that's what's going to happen.  The two systems
currently just do not support using each others' packages.

It looks like something that people would use (I would, for one).

If you do in fact have pygtk2-py24-dev installed, then the next step
would be to look in the config.log file in the gourmet build directory
for what file was being looked for (assuming it failed during
configuration rather than build).
