If you get it right the first time, you don't need as many updates.

pdftk is available for MacOSX via macports.  It needs libiconv.  Macports is,
however, a PITA because it provides tetex and has dependencies for it.
So far it has worked to keep macports after the texlive bin directories, so
all texing is done using TL rather than tetex versions.
