The reason Fink and midgard were packaged together was to have a simple, one step install process.
A more complex way to get Midgard working on OS X is to install from sources. That takes time, but is well worth it. Instructions on how to compile from source on OS X are @ the URL below:
http://www.privaterra.org/blog-rg/midgard-mac-os-x-10-4-2-installation.html
As for Midgard as a framework - one needs to understand that it is that, a framework , and a very powerfull one at that.
The installation is for the advanced user. if you are such a user - then, by all means try instead to build from source.

ARRRGGHHH! It is a pain. I have much experience with CMS systems and this smelt of elderberries (that, by the way, is a bad thing).
The installer will install all the Midgard stuff AND Fink. All told you will get just OVER 2GB stuffed into your hard drive. Hello?! That is waaaaay to much stuff for one install. How about a warning next time, sheesh.
The directions say you should launch the package installer, do what it says and then visit http://127.0.0.1/midgard to enjoy your new CMS. Not true. Since everything was installed in the newly created /sw directory it is invisible to you webserver. You will need to create a virtual directory in Apache to get this pointed to the correct place. You also need to set up a MySQL database.
The gist of it is, download their package, install it and... nothing. It is more complicated than they portray.
Not closely enough, obviously. Though I use Darwin Ports and don't want Fink cluttering up my hard drive.
>The package installs both Fink and Midgard CMS.
I wanted Midgard. Not Fink.
>Once you've run the installer only thing you need to do is start Apache and MySQL from /sw, and log into Midgard using your browser.
OS X already has Apache installed. Why do I need to install another instance and run it from this non-standard location?
I'd suggest you eliminate Fink from your package, tell folks where they can get a copy of MySQL, and let them use the version of the Apache server that is already installed on their machine.
Actually, yes. It is built from source in the sense they mean. When it provides a binary distribution, fink just provides a compiled-up milestone along the ‘build from source' route.
This shouldn't be using fink. It should have Apache and MySQL as prerequisites, then you can use your own solution, like WebEdition's distro.
CMSs are famously screwy, whether free or commercial. It makes me wonder why people don't use Wikis more frequently. (But setting up Mediawiki is another nightmare all its own.)

I would recommend potential users consider a number of additional systems when evaluating a CMS. Namely Mambo and Drupal. These are "plug and play" systems that don't require much customization to get up and running and are quite powerful.
If you are a designer at heart (as opposed to a programmer), you will like Textpattern. It seems complicated but is actually the easiest to customize the look of (just have decent XHTML and CSS skills).
