I would say such an application is ported, but not that it's a first-class citizen from a cultural and business perspective.

If you're building a commercial application, unless it's for a vertical market where you already know users are comfortable with such things, using either Carbon, Cocoa, or Java is (in my opinion) a must for your interface.

That said, a well-factored application shouldn't be extremely difficult to put a Cocoa interface on. It might take some time, but Cocoa does cut down on that quite a bit.

And I have to believe that got a lot easier now that Obj-C++ is supported again.
