Publisher's Description
From alittledrop:
Porticus is a Cocoa GUI for the MacPorts package manager. MacPorts provides ready to build open-source software packages modified to compile and run on Mac OS X. The MacPorts project provides a TCL command line tool to manage installation, update and activation of the port packages. Porticus provides a GUI front-end to this tool.
Porticus does a little more than this by providing a GUI with standard Mac OS X application features such as a search box to find a specific port, contextual menus, tree and table views to select and view port information by category or name. In addition it provides integration with Growl for status reporting.

"Very nice: No problems in 10.6.7-64bit. No X11 needed."
Version: Porticus 1.8.1
Pros
Looks very similar to synaptic (ubuntu-debian) or yumex (redhat). Seems clean and polished and trustworthy. At startup shows 5 groups: Installed, New, Outdated, Updated, All Ports (with dozens of categories). Under Prefs very complete, includes debug
Cons
Nit picking: No help (yet), but you can always rtfm for port command. Wished it showed the files installed by each port, any setup scripts they run, etc.
Summary
Well worth having.
