 Greetings, I'm the biblatex-biber developer using macports software a
 great deal (for which, many thanks). I develop it on OSX and I noticed
 that you have all of the perl modules listed as a dependency. This is no
 longer necessary as biber comes in a binary form for x86_64 and i386 on
 OSX so you could just package the binary if you wanted - users don't even
 need perl installed at all to use the binary.

 It's also now included in TeX-Live as of TL 2011 (and with updates in TL
 2010) so you might not need a port of this at all if you provide TL 2010+
 (or if people are using MacTeX which is just TL packaged nicely for macs)
