The package from MacPorts needs a tiny bit of love.

I initially had some issues with the upgrade to version 8, my latest
attempt is here:
    https://github.com/mojca/macports-ports/tree/gate8/science/gate

It builds against root6 since I had problems compiling against root5
on older machines.

You can give that one a try. If installation will be successful, I can
push the change to the official repository.

Examples are missing though and I wasn't sure what exactly to do about
that / how to properly install them.

That's not true (but it is true that the version in the main
repository is slightly outdated).

If you run Gate.app, you get Qt by default, but other visualisations
should still work unless they were disabled in Geant4. If one
particular option doesn't work, I should be able to fix it in one way
or another.

(But do you really want X11?)
