 > According to wxWidgets the preferred method is to create a bundle
 instead; what does MacPorts prefer?

 I don't think I understand the question so I can't directly answer. I am
 not a Mac application developer so I don't know how these things are
 usually done by developers. If by "bundle" you mean a .app in the
 Applications folder which contains the executable and support files, then
 yes, that is the preferred method of delivering Mac OS X GUI programs, but
 many programs distributed through MacPorts have GUIs that are accessible
 via a binary in /opt/local/bin. In cases where that's how the developer
 provided the software, the MacPorts portfile will often choose to provide
 a wrapper application in /Applications/MacPorts to make it easier to
 launch. For an example of this, you can look at our currently first port
 alphabetically, 2Pong. The .app generally contains nothing more than a
 symlink to the executable in /opt/local/bin. I don't know whether doing
 this would be of any assistance to mmg.
