I don't have a mac, however as the under pinnings of OSX in a UNIX / BSD
variant Darwin http://www.apple.com/macosx/technologies/darwin.html
porting should not be too big a deal. Infact I would suggest that all
is needed is to install QT/KDE and install the BSD package. D is based
on BSD 4.4. There may be a few packages not included in OSX that are
required, but I think these can be downloaded from either apple or BSD.
Apple is promoting porting to UNIX (read this loosely they don't seem to
distinguish between UNIX and Linux) here is a link to 'Packaging UNIX
Software For Darwin' ,
