Mac command-line installation software

have been missing Ubuntu Apt-get, because it is convenient, need to install what, a command to do, the related dependencies are all maintained by Apt-get . Download, compile, install, that's called a jolly. What software with the uncomfortable, a command to uninstall!

Miss Apt-get , found an alternative tool MacPorts, said can also solve my problem. But unfortunately, I always can't update the local Software index library!
