ROTOR, the shared source CLI, can run on OSX. Unfortunately, there is no
Windows.Forms (no UI applications then), nor another UI toolkit or class
library.

Mono (www.go-mono.com) is another CLI open source implementation. It
includes two UI class library (GTK# and cocoa#, the second one native to
OSX), maybe also Windows.Forms (it's a while since I have checked)

Hope this helps
