Yes, can understand that, but it never is wrong to have also MacPorts on the 
radar to learn about
its pecularities, although it steals a lot of time and nerves ...

Apple changed the name from MacOS to Darwin a long while ago, ooRexx (using 
"parse version") returns
the name the operating system tells.

What you saw was a fix to an ooRexx program (a portable ooRexxTry GUI) written 
by two different
students long ago, when ooRexx reported "MacOS" because MacOS reported that. As 
I am preparing the
GA version of BSF4ooRexx I tested the GUI on the Mac where an error caused by 
Java all of a sudden
(Java 8 in this case, font related) would uncover a bug in ooRexxTry.rxj that 
had to do with still
using "M" where now "D" was returned. The fix in this case was to change the 
version letter from "D"
to "M" in case "D" got returned from ooRexx. This will add Mac specific font 
names that are to be
used by ooRexxTry.rxj and fixed the bug.
