Port to Mac OS X

[gsemet]

port seems to have python-vte

trying with the home-brew environment which seems more mature.

brew install intltool
brew install gettext
brew link gettext
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="`brew --prefix cairo`/lib/pkgconfig:$(dirname $(find /usr/local |grep libffi.pc | tail -n 1)):/usr/local/opt/pixman/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/opt/fontconfig/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/opt/freetype/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/opt/libpng/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/X11/lib/pkgconfig"

From the history above it seems we need to install it by compiling and such? I love Guake and would love to have it be available on Mac with a simple install like in Ubuntu. Sorry for a noob question!
