I've tried this several times and never got it working. There are so
many dependencies that the process seems very fragile. But the biggest
issue is that even if you succeed, the .app bundle will be useless
anyway unless you're logged in as root when you run it. You could
certainly run it from Terminal with sudo, but then there isn't much
point in having an .app bundle. :)

DarwinPorts is the old name. That's the only difference. When the
OpenDarwin project shut down, they changed the name and moved to
Apple's macosforge.org. I think the old website is still around just
due to inertia.
