Thanks Jonathan, That is very helpful, I am not very familiar with airports yet. I may consider installing it.

It does have a rather large set of dependencies -- whether that is "too much overhead" is matter of opinion. Like you, I haven't found a file manager I like better, so I use it. I also use a few other KDE apps, like kompare, gwenview, and okular (separate ports). Macports uses QT4 built against Mac's graphics backend, so X11 isn't needed.
