The only bit of -base that you are likely to need to modify on a vaguely POSIXy 
system is the threading code, which depends on POSIX threads, and possibly the 
timer / event code.

For a system without X, however, you are going to need to write a new back end 
for -gui.  This needs to handle window management, UI event delivery, and 
drawing.  On modern systems, we usually delegate the drawing part to Cairo, 
which provides a PostScript-like abstraction, but you will still need to write 
the event handling (i.e. mapping native events to NSEvent objects) and window 
management code.
