I'll take a look.

That is my intention. Currently, darwin_pkg/Makefile compiles almost
everything that's in the package from the CVS sources. You can build it
yourself if you want:
mkdir pure-data && cd pure-data
tar xzf pd-0.37-0.src.tar.gz ( or cvs co -r devel_0_37 pd )
cvs darwin_pkg
cvs co externals
cvs co abstractions
cvs co doc ( you can also just "cd darwin_pkg && make checkout" to do
this)
cd darwin_pkg
make darwin_mpkg (that'll make all of the sub-pkgs and the .mpkg to
install them all)
make dmg (if you want a .dmg archive)
You'll probably have to comment out the sections in
pure-data/darwin_pkg/Makefile about "noncvs" and "nqpoly" since they
aren't in the CVS. I'd love help with this if you have time. I'd like
to add the new chaos, pdp/PiDiP/gem2pdp GEM, OSC, gripd, xgui, footils,
vasp, etc. from the CVS. Really, I'd like everything possible in this
package, and ideally, I could just check it out from the CVS and type:
"make" and have a ready-to-go installer.

AFAIK, the ATI support was in alpha in the spring, so it hopefully is
better now. I only really do sound, so I didn't look into it that
much. You definitely can get firewire and regular airport working, but
I don't know anything about airport extreme. Since the MacOS X kernel
is open-source (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/apsl.html ), its probably
likely that there are drivers for all the hardware. I know that the
volume and brightness keys are supported under linux, for example. But
I must say that the PowerBook support is not polished. Expect to spend
some time getting the non-standard things to work. (For example, video
will work out of box but not with all of the acceleration).
