Then hopefully that will be easy to write a portfile for.

I don't see a port for this unless it's part of the glade port.

Nor this, unless it's part of the gconf port.

I don't know if it's possible to compile gnome-subtitles for Mac OS X, but you can certainly try!

Your first steps should be to discover whether glade-sharp and gconf-sharp are separate from glade and gconf, respectively, and if so, to create ports for each of them. Then you can begin trying to create a port for gnome-subtitles.
