If there is no way to build MacPorts on a Linux system

MacPorts focuses on Mac OS X, but should be usable on other operating systems. There are ports that state they will work on other operating systems, and there are those that include patches which are used only on other operating systems. Still, these aspects aren't tested by the majority of MacPorts users so you may run into problems.

Not sure what part of MacPorts needs Objective C or how to work around that for non-Darwin operating systems. What version of MacPorts was this you tried?

I'm going to guess that many ports contain OS X specific patches, much like FreeBSD Ports do. Unless there's an easy way to turn such patches off, you're going to run into problems building packages.

A port that includes Mac-specific patches but does not isolate these to a "platforms darwin" section should be fixed to do so. Feel free to file a ticket if you find such a port.
