Is anyone aware of usage comparisons between macports and homebrew? Like installed base numbers?

The freeswitch devs are updating the Mac section of their wiki and are claiming that homebrew is more widely supported between platforms. They are reluctant to add information on using macports for freeswitch dependencies because a) they don't want to support what they don't know, and b) (they imply) they don't receive requests for freeswitch + macports.

I guess I'm just looking to satisfy my own curiosity and maybe gain some info to counter with.

Thanks,
