You will probably need to scratch your own niche.

I have worked with several ports systems across many platforms.  MP is nice.  It is not hard to write new ports for MacPorts.  (Granted, compilers may be a bit trickier.)  The mp-ports reviewers are responsive and offer helpful feedback.  Without any existing users, for a new port, there is no risk of breaking anyone. ;)

perhaps some existing ports will be relevant to your interests

fpc @3.2.2_1 (lang, pascal)
Free Pascal, an open source Pascal and Object Pascal compiler.

obc @3.3.0 (lang)
Oxford Oberon 3 Compiler
