How to install and maintain oss software on Mac OS X

Since Mac OS X has a full blown unix under the hood (i.e. 100% posix compliance) and brings a X11 server by default you can run nearly all software packages you know and love from Linux and BSD.
An easy way to install and maintain oss software is using MacPorts, a packet management system that allows you to install software from a huge software tree that should cover all your nerdy needs.
Unlike most packet managers MacPorts will download and compile the software package on your machine instead of downloading binaries which can be a time (and cpu) consuming task.
