Is this right? If it is then it is wrong – it would be great if 
the person handling the DMD port could be supported to get a LDC 
and GDC ports in place.

I am a user of MacOS maybe once per year, but I'll help as I can.

If you aren't set on MacPorts, you can use homebrew for ldc.
With regards to gdc: A word of caution: Supporting it as a 
separate package is a bit of a hassle, since it technically lives 
as part of the main gcc codebase (and you actually compile gcc 
with the D frontend enabled).

I currently use MacPorts. The latest available version of DMD on 
MacPorts is also outdated (2.0.73.2 vs 2.0.75.1). How can I 
request to get the latest version into the MacPorts repositories?
