> I have successfully bootstrapped the Gentoo Prefix on my macs (both x64 and a ppc), I can successfully emerge some cli apps like gentoolkit or links. But as soon as I try emerging anything that has a gui, things seem to go really awry. I tried getting porthole or kuroo4 as graphical package managers (later i'd like to get firefox and lyx on my ppc). |

There's nothing really special for GUI packages - I've had successfully installed Qt and Qt-based applications (though stand-alone build had less issues than building in prefix). |

As for Firefox you really don't need to build it - use Tenfourfox build optimized for your CPU type. |

You should use flag "aqua". |

> Do you know of any newbie guide for getting to run some GUI applications on Mac OS X or maybe at least some make.conf that would get me a headstart? Also I found that one particular mesa package is masked with the comment, that it's probably not very stable and one should use opengl-apple instead. But emerge does not ask which one it should install, so I'm really not so sure how to start. |

Basically, I cannot really follow the X server setup guide, because I am running on top of OS X and as such, I probably don't need drivers, maybe not even the X server, etc. What I really care about, is the ability to compile the application and then just use XQuartz to run it afterwards. |

XQuartz is a special build of xorg-server, you don't need another server. |
