Creating a Mac application bundle is a somewhat different objective from what I thought was your stated goal.  You haven’t said what you want to package.

If it is appropriate to package your app as an app bundle, then perhaps dylibbundler is what you need.  Check ‘port info dylibbundler’ and ‘port gohome dylibbundler’.
