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/)?
