Sure, if you do the work. I think the issue was that the DSSI code  
would have to be maintained in the pure-data CVS, which some people  
strongly protested.  DSSI isn't in Fink.  In order for it to be  
supported in the auto-builds and Pd-extended packages on Mac OS X,  
the code either needs to be in CVS or Fink, or included in the OS.

You could just make a libdir package, then people could use DSSI with  
plain pd too (with the libdir external).
