The port of wxWindows 1 to NeXTSTEP wasn't a native port to NeXTSTEP, but
one which required an X server and used Xt as it's toolkit. They got it
up to version 1.66d.
To get wxWindows going on Mac OS X the most straightforward approach would
likely be Carbon, which is a cruft-cleaning reimplementation of the Mac OS
Toolbox on Mac OS X.
It'd probably also be fairly easy making a wxGTK port which uses an X
server on OS X (which doesn't exist yet, although one does exist on OS X
Server), but a Carbon version would retain the native look and feel OS X
and not use whatever GTK theme is installed.
