Bit of a chicken/egg issue here.  Since we haven't had OS X buildbots for very 
long, and the ones we do have represent odd configurations, I think it's 
premature to say that "the port *doesn't* pass the test suite on
a regular manner".  I think it's just as reasonable to say that the developers 
making changes just aren't aware of bad side-effects on OS X.  A good way to 
remedy that would be to make those bad side-effects more apparent, for example 
by adding an OS X buildbot into the "stable" set.

Another issue is that none of the three OS X buildbots now running are really 
good representatives of the technology that most people I know who use OS X 
really use.  That would be an Intel Core 2 Duo machine running Snow Leopard.
