Only somewhat.  The platform-specific parts of VPython are fairly
limited; the hardest part is probably learning the OSX GUI APIs.

You would need to write implementations of glContext and glFont
(declared in glcontext.h).  You will probably also need to write a
platmac.{cpp,h} files that contains all of the functionality present in
plat{linux,win}.{cpp,h}.  You should be able to get a considerable
amount of reuse from the platlinux.{h,cpp} files.  If there is any
ambiguity about the responsibilities of these classes, I'll be happy to
help out anyone who would be doing this work.

I would recommend using the Carbon or Core Platform C interfaces rather
than Cocoa via Objective-C++.
