Have you seen GNUMail.app? It's portable to both environments, so
studying the source could give you an idea of what's involved.

From what I can tell, the most significant difference is that GNUStep
doesn't yet support NIBs. So, GNUMail.app has #ifdefs here and there;
on OS X, it loads NIBs, but under GNUStep, it instantiates GUI
controls programatically.
The problem with NIB files is that Apple does not document their
format, so GNUstep will probably never be able to use them. On the
other side there is Gorm.app, an IB clone which is already quite
powerful, so you do not necessarily instantiate the GUI
programmatically anymore!
