I think this will be virtually impossible at the moment. You will need 
to setup the development environment on OS X, which is a big mess and 
has custom patches applied. We hopefully improve the situation a bit 
with gedit 3.0, but it will still be quite hard to compile anything. I 
could try to make a dev dmg for OS X that includes all the required 
development files.
