FreeBSD ports tree on Mac OS X?

[Scummer]

I'm new here, but i already have a question since i don't have my mac for very long.

On FreeBSD there exists a ports tree in /usr/ports where all the ported unix apps for FreeBSD are located, does something like this exist for OS X?

That list looks good to start out with. Thanks

The closest analog to the FreeBSD ports tree would be fink.

There has also been work to port the NetBSD package system (very similar to ports) to Mac OS X. It works, but it's not really ready for prime time (too few packages yet).

Hope this helps...
