There are at least two X-Windows available under MacOS X, the Tenon's
somewhat pricey commercial http://www.tenon.com/, and the FreeBSD based
found at http://mrcla.com/XonX/.

So a possible MacOS X development strategy might be to first make a working
X-windows version, and then translate the graphics package into the MacOS X
proper.

-- Since all this is very time consuming development, the trick will be to
figure out how pick together the pieces development made by many, I think.
