Over the years of trying to rely on these kinds of packages, I have been sorely disappointed as they tend to be slow to provide updates.  It makes it hard to write documentation that can stand the test of time.  MacPorts has been there for me from day one and has been very consistent.  Not to mention, you only need to learn it once to get access to over 12,000 applications ported to OSX.  L
