The issues would entail whether to recompile it to run under X or
under the native Mac graphical system. ("Cocoa"???).

The latest versions of OS-X can run X-windows apps side by side with
native Mac apps...so the porting necessary would be fairly simple
should Adobe choose to do so.

Personally, I don't think I'd hold my breath.
