no objections. There were two reasons for basing the instructions on fink:
1) That's what I tried, when I had the chance.
2) Fink offers an x11-based kdelibs, while (as far as I am aware), MacPorts 
does not. This is not a show-stopper, but the rkward graphics device will need 
to be ported to a Mac native solution. Until then, our on-screen graphics 
related features (basically, everything in the menu bar and tool bar on a 
graphics device) will be unavailable. This should not be a problem during 
compilation, however (in theory), and using the Quartz-device should still be 
possible, or can be realized, easily by modifying rk.screen.device().

But in fact, MacPorts looks like the more actively maintained project, and so 
it probably make a lot of sense to go that way.

Thomas
