Has anybody gotten FreeImagePy working on Mac OS X?

I see that the FreeImage library has been ported to macports, although it is a minor version or 2 out of date from the current cvs. I am trying to get FreeImagePy, the Python wrapper to FreeImage, to work on my Mac. Has anybody else worked on this? I'm starting to work on image processing with NumPy, and I'd like to not reinvent the wheel to read and write image files that PIL (Python Image Library) can't handle: multibyte per color image formats. Am I alone in this?
