Yep, homebrew or macports is pretty much a must.

I don't know homebrew but macports wasn't that great when I tried it last. Apt-get has never failed to resolve dependencies where as macports did all the time.

I've installed KDE, gnome, and a bunch of other junk through MacPorts, and it hasn't failed me. Maybe you should give it another shot.

Homebrew is the cool kid on the block now, though: https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew
