It will be possible to have the client installable as a MacOSX package.

Actually, its called XCode Tools CD, and it came with my computer. 
Panther has three black install disks and the XCode Tools CD, which 
includes the BSD subsystem and other good stuff. You need it for 
development purposes and I'm pretty sure you'll need it to install all 
the prerequisite packages - but you could certainly try without and see 
how it goes.
