All of your points are quite valid and I have issues with them as well. But I was thinking something 'similiar' to but not exactly the current Gentoo portage system.
I was thinking more along the lines of a super charged portage system with tools written in C or C++ and support for choosing which compiler set you want to use, which is obviously something not available in the current incarnation of Gentoo's portage. I'm not arguing against using darwinports, I just have never used it. But anything to improve upon Blastwave (which I love, but....) and the companion CD and the SunFreeware packages.
