I used MacPorts on a FreeBSD box previously. I built the MacPorts
rsync port to easily back up my Mac to the FreeBSD box along with
resource forks and extra attributes. There were a few small glitches
getting base to work, but my use wasn't very extensive. In practice,
I used MacPorts strictly for packages and patches not available
through the FreeBSD Ports Collection. I don't have that box anymore,
but I liked knowing there was some portability beyond just Mac OS X.
Plus, writing Portfiles was much easier than writing Makefiles. ;)
