Marco,
No, not yet. Our plan was to port FiveLinux to Mac, as FiveLinux uses GTK+ as the GUI and there is a GTK+ version for Mac OSX Tiger.
The problem is that the GTK+ does not look as the native Mac OSX "Aqua" applications, so it is not what users may expect.
Another problem related to Mac OSX is that it uses Objective C as the native development language. Objective C is C with objects, but it is not C++. I guess no one else use Objective C.
Once the new Mac Intel based machines are available (probably next January) lets see if the Mac market share grows so it becomes as an interesting choice.
