Bit of a chicken/egg issue here. Since we haven't had OS X buildbots for very long, and the ones we do have represent odd configurations, I think it's premature to say that "the port *doesn't* pass the test suite on
a regular manner". I think it's just as reasonable to say that the developers making changes just aren't aware of bad side-effects on OS X. A good way to remedy that would be to make those bad side-effects more apparent, for example by adding an OS X buildbot into the "stable" set.
Another issue is that none of the three OS X buildbots now running are really good representatives of the technology that most people I know who use OS X really use. That would be an Intel Core 2 Duo machine running Snow Leopard.
