I would like to set up a dedicated box to manage MacPorts packages.
Unfortunately I don't own a MacOsX computer.

Can I install MacOsX on a pure Darwin platform?
This is not explained on the http://guide.macports.org.

But I can read most packages are pure "Darwin", so It may be implicit.

I assume you mean "Can I install MacPorts on pure Darwin?" The answer is yes, but note that the name of the project was changed from DarwinPorts to MacPorts some time ago to emphasize the fact that it is designed for and tested on Mac OS X, not Darwin. Many ports should work on Darwin, and if you find one that doesn't but should, please file a ticket.

To install, I believe you will have to download the source and compile it. There should be instructions for that in the FAQ.
