You mean like Xastir?   http://www.xastir.org

There are ways to use Xastir with a KISS TNC under Solaris, HP/UX,
MacOSX, Linux, and FreeBSD, without having to set up AX.25
interfaces.  Of course if you have AX.25 interfaces set up (in Linux
only), you can use them with Xastir as well.

I know that's not quite what you're asking about, but several of our
users are running Xastir on OSX and happy with it, so at least for
APRS you have some options there.
