Functionality of portage on OS X

My experience on using portage has been with very little success. Out of all the things I have tried I think only gnupg emerged, but things like Haskell, Darcs, unison, synergy, did not. How much are people using it? Does it really work?

i have used linux gentoo for over 2 years now and would like to use it on my mac os x.

I tried out fink and port and do not really like them.

Well at least, port and fink have been able to install stuff :-)

I guess, I should file some bug reports. Gentoo portage is similar to darwin ports, but I too would prefer to use portage.
