Some time ago (a few years actually), I had attempted to port Mahogany to MacOS (what we know as classic today). It is not trivial. The biggest stumbling block was getting c-client to compile/run. There was already a port of wxWindows/wxMac which worked pretty OK. So I think if c-client can be ported, then a MacOS Classic port should be do-able. One option of getting c-client and the networking code to work may be to use the GUSI layer that provides a Unix-type socket interface on the Mac.
