You might consider making a fink package for plucker.

Anything you port to OSX, put it in fink. Making pkgs is easy.

The downside to using fink to install Python et. al. is that the compatible graphics packages (netpbm and imagemagick) don't work with Plucker and the Python build doesn't include the Imaging Library. i don't know why, but it looks like you still have to fool around with makefiles and try building PIL yourself or skip fink entirely and get a distro of Python that includes PIL.
FYI: I've tried the fink unstable tree as well, with no luck...

Why?

It is just as easy to run the install script as it would be to build a fink package. Besides that, the fink package would put everything in the stupid /sw directory. People really need to drop the fink crutch and build unix programs and install them in the correct directories.
