Porting to OSX should be trivial. It's not worth worrying about.

Even once OSx is out there will still be a ton of MacOS users with systems
fast enough for vorbis (anything 68060 or ppc should eventually work great
for playback) but not running OSX. 

It would be very valuable to have a macos port of vorbis today.
