Oliver (who's comming to the meeting with the same probability as you
are :) is preparing an installer for Mac, but his last notification
was: "I have put it aside for a while since the tools for packaging
are buggy."
Actually, it should not be that much work to make the minimals behave
the same was as MacTeX, but I don't have enough motivation and skills
to dig into a proper installer.
TeX Live 2008 will include LuaTeX, and so will MacTeX (if they create it).
Have you ever tried to install minimals (http://minimals.contextgarden.net/)?
