I haven't tried, but the non-UI parts should work fairly well.  The GUI 
parts might require a bit more work.  For example, I did use 
CoreGraphics for speedier drawing (NSBitmapImageRep's pixel-formats are 
different from Squeak's).

Great idea, though, please go ahead and try it!  I will try to help as 
best as I can.
