The only vaguely compatible framework is GNUstep, which has at least partial support for the Cocoa APIs. Apparently it would be best to start with GNUstep and move an application to OS X though since there are so many features from MacOS that aren't implemented. Note that this is completely separate from binary compatibility: as far as I know nobody's working on Mach-O compatbility on FreeBSD so applications would need to be recompiled. http://wiki.gnustep.org/index.php/Cocoa -- Bruce Cran
