Hi, I'm not an active user of Geant4 myself, but the version in MacPorts is very outdated (9.4 patch 2 from June 2011, the currently released versions are 9.4p4, 9.5p2 and 9.6p2).
I wrote an initial Portfile using cmake (https://trac.macports.org/ticket/32716), but the Portfile currently used is very complicated and I'm not sure if I can follow and test all of its different options, and if I can understand the need for all the patches. In addition to what is already there (and what is missing in comparison to the old Geant4.9.4), I would like to suggest providing different versions of Geant4 (maybe starting from 9.5), so that other applications like Gate (https://trac.macports.org/ticket/35992 - I have it working here, but it needs some polishing) with strong dependencies on a particular version of Geant4 could work properly, and so that physicists with simulations written for an old Geant4 could still run them. I haven't heard anything from the original author of the port and I would be grateful if someone could help bringing this port up to date.
