Hmm... Theoretically that'd be pretty cool. But I can't get it working on my Mac OS X 10.3.9. (Am I behind on my OS version now?)

I followed these instructions

  http://darwinports.com/

But the next step (according to the instructions) doesn't work:

# sudo port -d selfupdate
sudo: port: command not found

So I ran 

  /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb

So I could run

  locate '/port'

Which showed me where "port" is (I think), but then:

# sudo /opt/local/bin/port -d selfupdate
dyld: /usr/bin/tclsh can't open library: /usr/lib/libcurl.3.dylib  (No such file or directory, errno = 2)

    while executing
"load /opt/local/share/darwinports/Tcl/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.dylib"
    ("package ifneeded" script)
    invoked from within
"package_native require Pextlib 1.0"
    ("eval" body line 1)
    invoked from within
"eval package_native $args"
    (procedure "package" line 14)
    invoked from within
"package require Pextlib 1.0"
    (procedure "dportinit" line 309)
    invoked from within
"dportinit ui_options global_options global_variations"
Error: /opt/local/bin/port: Failed to initialize ports system, dyld: /usr/bin/tclsh can't open library: /usr/lib/libcurl.3.dylib  (No such file or directory, errno = 2)

And since I don't know TCL I don't know what's going on now.

Have you had any luck yet Philip? I tend to attempt installing everything from source, and tend to avoid package systems...

In my experience installing the GD module will not install its non-Perl pre-requisites. You need to do that separately, which I've never done on a Mac. The last few times I've tried on Linux (over the last 3-4 years or so) it's always worked on Linux.

Your list of dependencies sound right to me. Have you tried to install any of the prereqs? Any luck?
