Making OE itself work isn't rocket science - fix a few Linuxisms in
bitbake, port pseudo to macOS.

The hard bit is then convincing the hundred-odd recipes that are often
Linux-centric if not Linux specific to build under something that isn't
Linux.  My ross/darwin branch (from before the security changes) has a
patch to gmp as 'echo' has different semantics. unlink() has different
error codes between macOS and Linux.  There's a very long tail of
differences that will need patching and testing.

But if this is something you care about, patches welcome!
