Hm.  I run Slash (the code that runs Slashdot) on my Mac.  Everything does

Just Work for me.  Perl, Apache, mod_perl, TT, MySQL.  Although I build
from 
the source on both Mac *and* Linux (except MySQL, which I get binaries
from 
in both cases), so maybe that's the difference.  Not sure what you mean by

losing things from upstream.
