Comment (by easieste@…):

 For my use of BTC (and open source software under OS X in general), I want
 to compile from the source for which I can verify PGP signatures.  I use
 MacPorts specifically so I can share the work of maintaining build
 infrastructure with other developers.

 If you want to fetch the binary, please maintain a path so that I can
 compile from source.

 You will need to audit the chain of trust for verifying the official
 Bitcoin binaries.

 Is there another example of a MacPort which fetches and verifies official
 binaries?
