>From a post I saw on Garry Newmans blog, it appears they use make files (as he was compiling on Windows). If you look at the Portal/Steam for Mac release photo, however, Xcode is clearly visible in the dock. My guess is that Valve uses a system similar to the chromium project utilising scripts to generate .vsproj .xcproj and make files automatically. This would allow them to use Xcode, but still compile on non-Mac servers. As we already know that each check-in triggers an automatic build for all platforms, this sounds reasonable.
