A port to MacOS would be difficult, I'd think.  Much easier would be to wait
a few months for MacOS X Beta and port to that, or port immediately
to MacOS Server.  Both are BSD-flavored.  But this won't work
if you need to run it under a "classic" environment.

Another alternative is OpenProlog (if I remember correctly).  That
is a fairly nice prolog.

PS. SWI-Prolog works great on a Mac if it's running Linux/PPC!
