is there a current project to port this to Mac?

I have started looking into it, but i am not a programmer so yeah, it may take a while.... but i think i am on the right track.

I found bakefile from the wxWidgets site - Bakefile is cross-platform, cross-compiler native makefiles generator. It takes compiler-independent description of build tasks as input and generates native makefile (autoconf's Makefile.in, Visual C++ project, bcc makefile etc.).

I also have access to the mac edition of MetroWorks CodeWarrior 8.0, and of course have Apple's XCode installed with the newest gcc compiler.
