There is one project in the works that currently only supports x86 
linux.  There have been postings on this, and there is a project on 
SqueakMap.  The name is Exupery.  The source is available, but has no 
comments, which makes it hard to use as a base for others to do a port. 
  I hope someone takes on the PPC for Mac.
