To install under Mac OS X:

Requirements:
        Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar) or greater
        Apple Developer Tools or gcc toolchain if you want to compile

Steps:

First, create the Portage user. Type "sudo su" to become root, then:

niutil -create / /users/portage
niutil -appendprop . /users/portage uid 250
niutil -create / /groups/portage
niutil -appendprop . /groups/portage gid 250

The portage user and group will now be created.

Now, assuming this source tree is in /Users/drobbins, perform the following:

# ln -s /Users/drobbins/portage /usr/lib/portage
# cp /usr/lib/portage/pym/*.py /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/
# ln -s /usr/lib/portage/bin/emerge /usr/bin/emerge
# ln -s /usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh /usr/sbin/ebuild.sh
# cp /Users/drobbins/portage/cnf/make.conf.mac /etc/make.conf
# cp /Users/drobbins/portage/cnf/make.globals.mac /etc/make.globals
# mkdir /etc/make.profile
# vi /etc/make.profile/make.defaults (add the following lines:)

ARCH="ppc"
USE=""
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="ppc"
COMPILER="gcc3"

Note that the "ppc" stuff above is interim as we have not started using the "mac"
keyword yet.

Now, emerge sync:

# emerge sync

Now, copy all files from /usr/portage/profiles/default-ppc-1.4/ to /etc/make.profile
*except* for the already-existing /etc/make.profile/make.defaults file.

You should now be able to do things like:

# emerge -eup world

Note that nearly everything will b0rk hard if you try to emerge it. A few things
will work with no issues as long as use use the --nodeps option. Try:

# emerge --nodeps nano

Happy hacking!
