Actually the Mac has its own ports system which would be a far better way

Actually Aidan, you might want to reconsider your question.
If I understand correctly, what you want to do is get a program you know
that runs on Linux to run on MacOSX. ;-)
What you might want to consider is whether the FreeBSD (what Mac's
Darwin is based on) ports tree has the program you want in it already.
Use the command line on the Mac to grab down the ports tree and then see
if you can run make on it. (You'll need to install compilation software
on the MAC but then you'll need to do that anyway with your original
idea).
Hey presto - new app installed correctly with no fluffing about with
cross-compiling!
If you want further help, email me off list.
