I have notmuch installed on os x though I'm on 10.5. I used homebrew
(http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/) to install it orginally. It took care of all
the dependencies. There may be macports of fink packages, but I haven't checked.
I later upgraded to 10.2 by installing notmuch manually. I had some troubles
with the python bindings, but I think that was just because my glib was too old.
Installing a glib a newer 2.4.x glib fixed it.
