When we originally wrote MacPorts (6 years ago -- 2002), pkgsrc's Mac OS X support had only been introduced a year earlier (2001), and wasn't considered mature enough for day-to-day use. More important, however, was that we wanted to explore different methodologies of implementing package/port systems; Jordan Hubbard had previously written the first version FreeBSD ports system (of which pkgsrc descended), and we wanted to try something different. In retrospect, I'd have certainly lobbied for numerous changes to MacPorts' design and implementation, but that hindsight isn't very useful 6 years later =) Regardless, we didn't really intend to give pkgsrc the cold shoulder, just to explore a different direction. To bring this back on-topic wrt Bacula, the Bacula MacPort has no maintainer, but if anyone would like to separate it into client & server ports, I'd be happy to commit the diffs.
