I have just tried MacPorts and I found an interesting thing.
With MacPorts, Inkscape displays correctly the Portuguese localization. However, this version has a drawback in the fact that it has no support to drag-and-drop. With the official Inkscape.app, I am able to drag svg files into the inkscape icon in the Dock, and it open the file to me...
creating a drag and dropable Inkscape app should be quite easy with platypus http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20041111082112274 just create a shell script which launches Inkscape (and add MacPort to the path before or use an absolute path).
Hope that helps. JiHO
Is there any easy way to convert my MacPorts built of Inkscape (or GIMP,...) into a .app file, so that I can distribute an easy to install appllication?
Mac ports has a package command that is supposed to turn Inkscape and its dependencies into a pkg that can be installed on other systems but I don't know much about it. Other than that, creating an app bundle is not complicated conceptually but you have to know what you are doing. You can follow the code which is used for Inkscape in packaging/macosx/osx-app.sh. I think it would probably be easier and more productive to track down the problem with the portuguese localisation in the current system used to produce the app bundle rather than trying to redo it from the ground up.
