Hi Jean-Michel,
I'm not sure if you've received any feedback on this so here's my input.
Get in touch w/ KDE's mac branch on their mailing list 'kde-mac at kde  
dot org' (or on freenode #kde-mac) and ask someone there for a) ssh  
access b) to create a Portfile for mlt and kdenlive. Once a portfile  
is created submit it here or using trac (or just e-mail it to me).

If mlt and kdenlive build cleanly they'll be added to macports in  
short order.
Yes, I'm also with kde-mac, no I'm not volunteering to do this :-)
(Mlt and kdenlive seem to have a lot of dependencies that I have  
neither time nor inclination to wrestle with. Sorry.)

Lastly, if no one on this list has an interest in the software you're  
providing it won't be included unless it is a dependency of other  
software which is of interest. e.g. soprano only recently got  
included, because of kdelibs4.
I don't speak for anyone here, but it seems there isn't much interest  
in doing the work necessary to get kdenlive included. Just looking at  
the dependencies page made _me_ cringe, and I like KDE software.  
Imagine what somewhat who has no interest would think. Again, you're  
best bet: kde-mac mailing list.

Good luck.
