Gtk can use an underlying engine to render to the system.  

Until recently, I was unaware that MacOS X had a thing called the
"Appearance Manager" which is some kind of library to do this.

Someone might be interested in doing a theme for Gtk+ that uses this. 
The other half of the equation would be to get the keybindings to match
the MacOS X, but that one is simpler than getting the theme done.
