I haven't heard of successful reports so far.

I would expect core code to build without problems, but I don't know
what would be needed for the driver interface. libpcap can probably be
used for providing access to EAPOL frames, but the driver communication
(driver_*.c file in wpa_supplicant) may need to be implemented from
scratch.

Do you happen to know whether there are any publicly available Mac OS X
development systems? I could take a more detailed look at what can be
built now and what would require more work if I were to find a way of
testing builds and getting access to the needed include and library
files.
