Ryan will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe only software with
tarball releases are added to the ports tree except for a few
necessary exceptions (ffmpeg for instance. which never releases a
tarball), so we'd probably wait for a release with actual support for
OS X.

Having gotten some of kde4 into macports I've found gcc is a fickle
beast however and that this is not necessarily so.

Yeah I saw that. That's a lot of stuff, luckily most of it is already
in macports. Given that most portfiles (which are maintained) are done
by volunteers you'd need someone to step up and do this. I'd suggest
emailing the kde-mac mailing list, or heading to the irc channel
(#kde-mac) if no one here volunteers to adopt kdenlive. Alternatively
you could provide the portfile and ask the kde-mac folks to test. I
find that, for me, the greatest inertia in adding a new package is
creating a portfile and once that done I'll keep at it till it
compiles or I figure out why it isn't :-)
