You can make any version of GnuCash on MacOSX work with the MacPorts 
version of F::Q by changing the first line of the various gnc-fq-* 
scripts installed with GnuCash to point to the MacPorts version of 
Perl, something like "#!/opt/local/bin/perl".  This, of course, assumes 
you've installed both Perl and Finance::Quote using MacPorts.
