Hi Joe from the web pages you linked to
bwctl, compiles cleanly on OS X and require Iperf2 (which is already a port, should provide a good example) owamp and thrulay seem like they would build on OS X mturoute is a windows program, Check out the existing port hping3 or maybe scamper will meet your needs > scamper can do ICMP-based Path MTU discovery. scamper starts with > the outgoing interface's MTU and discovers the location of Path MTU > bottlenecks.

Writing a "port" for MacPorts is reasonably simple if the application is well behaved and can be compiled with prefix= support out of the box. Taking an application from another platform and "porting" it to OS X is usually outside the scope of the MacPorts project and is better taken up with the project concerned and asking them to support OS X. I am actually interested in openlldp but on trying it it fails the ./ configure; make.
