ME! I see it as a "platform for the clinicians" :).  I have managed to build
most of minc (Excluding register and Display) for OSX and now have a number of
neurologists/clinicians quite happilly going home with their laptops and tracing
stuff for me (in Display).  For this I used Steve Robbins pre-built minc "OSX
package".

On this note, jason lerch was toying with a automated package builder a while
back, I think it included support for Mac packages but am unsure.

The easiest way to get minc et al to the Mac as a pre-built package may be via
fink using a modified version of Steve Robbins's .deb debian packages.
