IMHO, the main system without a package manager is Windows.

AFAICT the MacOS platform also lacks in this area.

Actually, they both have them. Windows has Cygwin (rpm-based), while for MacOS Fink (deb-based), MacPorts (FreeBSD ports-like), and NetBSD's pkgsrc are all viable options if you want packaging support for 3rd-party packages.
