Not 100% related to your original question, but can I ask why a Cocoa
version would require trashing the application kernel? Cocoa is
perfectly capable of creating a window, setting up an OpenGL context,
and polling for events. It is certainly better suited to
Hollywood-style "don't call us, we'll call you" framework usage, but
it's not particularly hard to use it in the manner you describe.
