Not at all.  You still need X11 and fink.  Before, Apple's compiler (a
bastardized gcc) was too broken to build and run Boost.Python + VPython.
The build of gcc shipped with XCode 2.3 works fine.

Another user asked me what he would need to do on an Intel-based mac to
get VPython up and running.  The answer is that until the fink
developers get fink working for either fat binaries or a custom
i386-only distribution, you shouldn't bother.  You can try the beta that
is posted on fink.sourceforge.net, but don't get your hopes up.

We don't have an intel mac to test on.  If an OS-X guru would like to
speak up, I would be interested in what it takes to crank out fat
binaries from the command line on PowerPC, as Apple only sees fit to
describe the process from within XCode.

Thanks,
