The MacPorts installer pkg will need to be submitted, but I don't think much else will change. Using MacPorts-built kernel extensions is already impossible because of signing requirements (we don't have a kext signing certificate and I don't think we qualify for one.) For general apps, Gatekeeper doesn't prevent running locally built ones due to them being unsigned, and I gather than notarization is only required in the same circumstances as signing. (It would be incredibly inconvenient for developers to test anything if this were not the case.) - Josh
