I'm not aware of any such package being available anywhere.

The Apple-provided developer tools (which include gcc) are a 
well-documented requirement to run MacPorts. And they are easy to 
install; they come with the installer DVD for OS X or can be downloaded 
for free from Apple's website. That's about as "easy for the masses" as 
it can get.

Is there something in your setup that precludes you from installing 
Apple's dev tools?
