I'd write the functional code as C or C++ language source without embedding UI and file system access into it. That should be 100% compatible with whatever GUI libraries, system IO libraries and graphics libraries you would use on all three platforms. On Mac OS X, write the system IO and User Interface using Objective-C and/or Objective-C++ and the supplied Cocoa interface libraries, using Apple's supplied development tools and libraries (Xcode and Interface Builder ... they are distributed as an optional installation with Mac OS X). It's a little easier to link C and Objective-C code, but either way works without too much effort. If you design your functional module correctly, it will go very very quickly. I'm not up on the best development tools and UI libraries for Windows or Linux, but the story should be similar for those OS environments.
