Such a compatibility layer already exists. It comes with Mac OSX and it
is called, well, "X11" :-) We have been compiling, after all, TeXmacs on
the Mac without modification for years.
This discussion is *not* about porting TeXmacs to the Mac. This has been
done a long time ago. It is about better integrating the result into the
Mac GUI - using Mac widgets, allowing seamless cut-and-paste with other
applications, creating an app bundle. Apart from the latter, which is
rather trivial and can be done already with the current X11-based
texmacs, this requires, as Massimiliano explains, rewriting substantial
parts of TeXmacs. And there is no way around the fact that you need -
even if you used a compromise such as Qt4 or gtk - for this task someone
who knows intimately both TeXmacs and the Mac GUI.
