There already _is_ an Enigma port to OS X, see the download page. An
updated version will appear in the next few days; Johannes updated it
almost two weeks ago, but I've been having problems with SSH, so I
wasn't able to upload it so far.

So far no one has ventured building a Carbon version of Enigma and no
one with access to MPW or CodeWarrior offered to do so. I'm no Mac
user, so I have no idea whether it would be worthwhile (or even
feasible). I think Johannes once mentioned that Enigma wouldn't run on
Classic Macs anyway because they don't have a 640x480 video mode.
