Comment:

 If you review the source code
 https://github.com/gnuradio/gnuradio/blob/master/gr-
 blocks/lib/tuntap_pdu_impl.cc#L51 , you'll see that the tuntap block is
 Linux-only. Doesn't matter if the port tuntaposx is installed or not.
 Given that tuntaposx installs just an ABI (libraries etc) and no API
 (headers), it's not clear to me how one could use it for this block.

 If you want to see a tuntap block on macOS / Mac OS X, I'd advise you to
 open an issue on the GR github tracker:
 https://github.com/gnuradio/gnuradio/issues . This is not the place for
 enhancement requests for GR, just MacPorts, so I'm closing this ticket as
 "wontfix". Even then, I'm not sure how easy or difficult it will be to
 augment the block to allow for tuntap on OSX, but I'd be willing to give
 it a go once the GR-powers-that-be bless the effort.
