OK, thanks for the pointer to the thread.  

I also got an off-list response pointing me to an in development fink
package:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1293991&group_id=17203&atid=414256

Along with instructions:

  just drop the files attached there into /sw/fink/dists/local/main/
  finkinfo and you should be able to fink install quilt.

Since I already had fink installed, I tried this.  Still needed an
install of coreutils to get gnu date, but after that it seems to be
working.

To the quilt developers: Is there any chance that support for OS X
will be merged in?  Or are the changes required to drastic?

Thanks all,
