The easiest way to do this is to use the "macho_standalone" script on  
a copy of the dvdauthor and ffmpeg binaries from MacPorts that you put  
inside an application bundle, see

Or you can change install names manually by using "install_name_tool".

But remember that the resulting binary is only guaranteed to work on  
the same major Mac OS X version as your MacPorts installation.
