A fontset maps a character to a font, and a CCL encoder maps a
character to a codepoint (in a single font). Actually, the variable
font-ccl-encoder-alist is used for that purpose in mac-win.el.

It may not be automatic or transparent, but customizing the default
font is as simple as
(add-to-list
'default-frame-alist
`(font . ,(create-fontset-from-mac-roman-font
"-*-FAMILY-medium-r-normal--SIZE-*-*-*-*-*-mac-roman")))
or
$ defaults write org.gnu.Emacs Emacs.font
'-*-FAMILY-medium-r-normal--SIZE-*-*-*-*-*-mac-roman'
and not so different from other platforms, I think.
