This is actually exactly what I do, but on top of that I build AUCTeX and ESS into the application folder, make some minimal fine tuning and package everything into a disk image.

I thought of using the Macports application instead, but it uses shared libraries that are not necessarily present on another system. It's probably fairly simple to add a flag somewhere to use static libraries instead, but I don't where and how and didn't feel like looking for it. Furthermore, I did not succeed (if I recall correctly) to build a 32-bit version of the application, for distribution to people on < 10.6 systems.

Otherwise, my build procedure is pretty much automated through a Makefile.
