JNIPort relies on Alien, and I have not yet found a Cog VM working with
Alien and JNIPort. 

I tried Squeak 5.8b12 for Mac OS X which identifies itself as Cog, but it
crashes when you just evaluate "LibCLibrary uniqueInstance". Apparently this
VM version doesn't work with Alien.

Eliot's latest Cog build for Mac OS X at
http://www.mirandabanda.org/files/Cog/VM/VM.r2349/ is able to load libc.
When I try to use JNIPort, it can't find the library libjvm.dylib when I
create a symbolic link to it in the working directory. When I create a
symbolic link in the subdirectory Cog.app/Contents/Resources, it is able to
load the library, but the VM crashes with a bus error when I try to call the
first function of the library. I currently have no idea what causes the
error. As the same code runs without problems on a Squeak VM, I don't think
that the problem is in the JNIPort code, but I may be wrong.

So, no JNIPort on Cog for now. This may change soon, of course.
