What do you mean by porting ?
Scilab has been ported under Mac OS X a few moths ago (still, it is an
alpha version)

Hmmm, these two libs do exist under Fink. 
However, I am pretty sure that others are missing. But since all the
dependencies are packaged under Debian
and fink is based on Debian tools, you might ask for a synchronization of
these packages against Debian's.
