Search for "pspp mac" and you'll find dp.com sitting at #4 or #5.   
This demonstrates at least one way people are finding it:  searching  
for the open source project they want and "mac".  In my example,  
simply searching for "pspp" will not being up dp.com.

Macports is nowhere to be found, btw.
