Stella has always been cross-platform. Stephen won't allow any new feature
that can't be implemented portably (which is one reason the debugger
uses a custom GUI for the prompt instead of just standard input/output).

MacOS X is explicitly supported (there's a separate directory in the
source for it). Even if it weren't, it would (probably) still be supported
as a generic UNIX platform (it just wouldn't be consistent with other
OS X app user interfaces).
I don't know whether the current CVS debugger code will work as-is on
OS X: the regular OS X maintainer is on vacation, and has been since
before the debugger was started. I can try it out on my Mac, if I can
ever get it fixed (it's overheating. Grr....)
...but the final Stella 2.0 release will definitely work for you. It'll
be a while: the tentative deadline is sometime in the next 2-3 months.

Never say never :)
