It's very easy under Windows if you use a projector creator, which gives access to command-line parameters. Windows screen savers are ordinary executable files (.exe), just their extension is changed to .scr, so you can go with a simple exe file. When Windows is going to display the screensaver itself, it runs the screensaver executable with a command-line parameter /s, and when it wants to make it display its configuration dialog, then runs the same executable with parameter /c. So the same program acts by two ways and displays different content depending on the command-line parameters.

We'll need the screensaver to be configured (via the "settings" window on XP, and something similar on a Mac) but apparently the available wrappers don't offer this. I've tried Zinc and it's a great wrapper but the "settings" window seem to be a hardcoded window with no changes possible other than the description text and image. Is there any way to accomplish this? It's a very simple screensaver, but I'll need to change its settings. I'd also be interested in knowing if Screenweaver has something like this, as I haven't tried it yet to see.
