I've got a client that want's to port this software package from Mac OS-X
to Linux and pay for it.
I checked out 104MB of source code via CVS (I've attached the listing from
/home/grant/packages/osirix) ... Not sure but it looks like some sort of C
code but you compile it within this IDE
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/xcode/
I couldn't find anything resembling ./configure or a Makefile and the dev
page isn't very helpful unless you're using xcode.

Most of the code on the Mac is written in Objective C. I think this is
what you are seeing in "some sort of C code".
gcc handles Objective C. With a bit of work I'm sure this thing
could be made to compile on Linux. Of course, all the GUI code will
have to be ripped out and replaced.
Any pointers to who can do this or which company can do this or which
mailing lists to consult appreciated. We can probably commission a
feasability study seeing as it's such a large chunk of stuff.
I'd prolly target a Mac developers mailing list, looking for someone /
somecompany that has both Mac dev + Linux dev skilz.
cheers
