I don't think so, but I'm not sure. Alexandre, do you know this?

The problem is that MacPython uses GUSI for I/O, and GUSI emulates
Posix threads on top of the Thread Manager. As far as I remember the
Thread Manager and MP threads are mutually incompatible.

You could try building (from source) a non-GUSI, non-threading 
MacPython,
but this is probably a lot of work.
