Yes.

I'd like to play with this when I'm home with an Apple, but it should be
possible and it would be no different than embedding any other Apple
framework in an Apple application - which is a tricky bit - please refer
to the Apple documention for how to do it.

I know gnustep-make already supports that option - at least in theory, I
don't remember trying it out - it's similar to what you'd do with Apple
development tools.  You have to set DYLIB_INSTALL_NAME_BASE in your
GNUmakefile to something like @executable_path/../Frameworks.

I'll double-check it out tonight.

(If I don't, and if you don't find how to do it by yourself, please nag me
via email again in a couple of days.)
