Hello,
Wouldn't the problem be how many different packages would be on hand for different systems and how long each of the packages would need to be maintained?

I'm using macports for a while, but what I haven't understood yet is,
why macports everytime needs to compile the packages instead of
installing prebuild ones. I would love if it did it like fink or like
apt on ubuntu. Would this be possible for the future?

We would love this as well, and have wanted it for years. So far, nobody has contributed the necessary code to make it happen.
