Michel Pollet ported SpiralSynth Modular to OSX a while ago, I'm not certain
about it's current status (not owning a mac) but I've seen a screenshot of it
in action.
Most fltk apps should work well, and once Jack gets ported it should be pretty
much just a recompile. Most of the problems I was aware of were a couple of
globals in the plugin api conflicting with apple's.
