Well, Omnigroup has ported Q3 without too much trouble (read: any) to Cocoa. Thus, it shouldn't be too hard, given the ease of Omnigroup's port to port new games within a weekend or two and thus give the Mac a very easy way to get games on the market at the same time as PC games.

After you get through the first steps of creating outlets and actions, it's actually easy and intuitive after that. Try looking through the first few sections of the Vermont Recipes, and when it gets boring, try experimenting.
