Hmm. Just tried installing it via 'port'

When it starts up it asks where my 'Tcl' path is... It says it is normally, '/Library/Tcl', but this does not exist for me... I'm running SL (10.6.7) and macports 1.9.2. What should I put here ? 

It also says it was only tested for macports 1.8, which is pretty old now...

I agree, it needs a little work before it could really replace Porticus.
