This project is idle at best since 2 years (so it seems) and
in the meanwhile, cinepaint (film-gimp) developers have started gtk-osx

"GTK+OSX was based on the abandoned mac-gtk project, an OS 9 effort 
that has laid dormant since 2000.
Unlike the GTK-Quartz effort, GTK+OSX is Carbon-based and does not use 
Objective C."

because using quartz presented a lot of problems ...
