Yes, I did find the downloadable mac "app" version works OK.  However, 
the "textext" extension (and probably other extensions) do not work with 
this version since it doesn't know about macports installed libraries 
(libxml2 for the case of textext).  It will be nice to have inkscape 
working via Macports again after the various bugs are fixed.
