Mac OS X is not supported as platform for MaxDB and will
not be in the foreseable future. Aside from using JDBC, which is platform
independent, there is little chance for you for out-of-the-box solution.

Yes, it would be hard, and it would be time-consuming. Perhaps a better idea
is taking MaxDB sources and build tools and try to make a port to Mac OS/Darwin,
at least for some client stuff to get e.g. ODBC running.(I would not say 
that this would not also be hard and time-consuming).
