Well, the kernel of MacOS X is based on the BSD kernel, but the graphics
and other operating system libraries are new and proprietary, and as such
present the same hurdle to porting as does MacOS 9 or below. There would
be no easy recompile, as there is for BSD-based systems using the X
Window System. As far as I know, no one has taken up a MacOS X port of
AbiWord.
