You are going to need to install it by compiling the source. Here is a link to the documentation: https://guide.macports.org/#installing.macports

I'll help you for free on this thread if you actually post your compiler errors here.  You see the guide above.  If you actually started following the steps there and you got stuck then post what happened (in detail) if you want help.

Cheers.

Thanks. I think maybe I need to get a mac laptop with osx in order to install macports since macports only works on osx?

From what I know abot macports, it *is* software intended to be run on a mac.  That's not to say that you couldn't find a way to compile it on GNU/Linux.  BTW, why do you want to run macports anyway.  If you have GNU/Linux, you have the GNU tools that (I think) macports is supposed to provide you access to.

Three questions:

1) Can you use this apple cross-compiler? https://launchpad.net/~flosoft/+archive/ubuntu/cross-apple
2) Are you sure that you can't run the version compiled for ubuntu on OSX?  They should both be able to run ELF binaries, I would think.  Since their both UNIX like, maybe you just need to dynamically link some libraries and have your OSX users use LD_LIBRARY_PATH or something.  It's just a guess.  In either case, if you do have someone try a linux binary on OSX and it fails, I'd be curious to hear what the error was.
3) What wallet?  Is it a fork of bitcoin-core? a personal project?  Just curious here why you need to build for a system that you don't even have.

If you look at the gitian compile discussion it shows you how to build Linux, Windows and OS X on one machine. Perhaps that would be a good place to look too.

It doesn't need mac ports, btw.
