There's some code I need to port that contains calls to

poll

Although the man pages describe poll, it actually isn't available in
current Darwin builds. I was directed to use

select

as a replacement. However, both these suckers are new territory to me.
Can someone offer advises on wrapping select to act like poll, or on
replacing poll altogether?

I wrote a drop-in replacement for poll.h that I've used several times
when porting to Darwin / Mac OS X. It's not very fast and takes 4K of
stack space, but it is thread-safe and can handle any number of file
deescriptors up to the kernel per-process maximum.
