If your sole goal is to distribute GnuPG encoded files which third
parties are going to decode: Are these encoded files historic in nature,
or will you be encoding them "fresh" in the future?
If it's the latter, why not use modern GnuPG 2.4 (stable) or at least
2.2 (LTS)? Binaries for those are readily available across platforms.
Your macOS users can even use package managers like Nix, MacPorts or
Homebrew if they don't wish to download a dedicated installer like the
one I provide via SourceForge. The only problem I can see is outdated
GnuPG vetsion 1.4 getting in the way.
