My runtime is just a snapshot of a MacPorts install. You'd only use it
for running CHIRP, nothing else.

Yep, well, that's the price (pain) of wanting to do it yourself, but you
should be able to make it work. It took me days to get it right, but I'm
not a MacOS/MacPorts guy.

Note that if you use the GTK in your MacPorts for other things, there's
a good chance converting it to Quartz will break those. You can either
install a parallel version for Quartz support, or, you know, just
install mine :)
