Actually porting foundation based applications/frameworks that does not
care about runtime/+load implementation is easy as writing a makefile.
(ported OmniBase, OmniNetworking, SenFoundation/OCUnit, eogenerator,
...)
I can't speak for gui apps, but the real problem is the nib file.

BTW: I've started GDLModeler.app but it isn't a killer app...
