So even though we have reasonable packages out there for Puppet and Facter, some people prefer to install this sort of thing through MacPorts, the closest thing we have to a third-party packaging repository on OS X.
Anyway, Puppet and Facter are both out now.

$ port search puppet
puppet @0.24.8 (sysutils)
Puppet is a configuration management solution.
nigelk@sillymidon [/Users/nigelk]
$ port search facter
facter @1.5.4 (sysutils)
A cross-platform library for describing OS attributes.
Hi Nigel,
We’re maintaining a Macports tree for a few hundred Mac clients, so this is great news. Thanks!
Best,

Awesome to hear.
I didn’t distribute any special configuration files with the port installations. If there is stuff that would be obvious to include, please let me know and we can work on it.
