Kopete on Mac OS X

Hey I am new to the forum so hello :) I have used Kopete a lot in Ubuntu and Kubuntu and IMO it is by far the best IM client for msn (in linux). I have now purchased a macbook running OS X leopard and the one bit of software that I cannot find a good replacement for is the instant messaging client. Adium is nice, but is missing fetures and amsn and mecuarry which have the fetures don't look as nice and are a bit unstable.

Hence I have been searching google to see if it is posible to install Linux programs on a Mac. I have found some really interesting and positive links but none where Kopete is mentioned or a way to install it.

link 1 overview - http://dot.kde.org/1168899755/
link 2 fink home page - http://www.finkproject.org/
link 3 KDE on Mac - http://ranger.users.finkproject.org/kde/index.php/Home

It seems using the 3rd link would be best but if I download te 3+GB file would I be able to install Kopete onto it?

If not fink seems good but I have not had much luck getting it to run on leopard and pointers here would also be good. :)

Thanks you for reading, and any replays I would be really grateful

Thanks Ben :)
