I don't think so. We had another one recently announcing he'd like to do some 
work on MacOSX, but he's not experienced in C and debugging.

Have a look at the bugtracker here:

There are still some other problems to be reckoned with.

That's a no-no.
What are user interface expectations on Mac OS X?
At the moment, there are three different ways for accessing the graphics /

So essentially, all three would have to be maintained.
It's planned to remove the windows specific stuff, too and have it go over 
SDL.
