Looking at the current grammars, C# exists but ObjC does not. You
should be able to create a new grammar or modify the C grammar

Translating language grammars is trivial. Translating library APIs is
not.
Unless it's done *perfectly* - and I've yet to see that done - your
customers will hate you for it. If you want to write a Cocoa program,
write a Cocoa program. Don't try to pawn off a .NOT program that has
a thin layer of Cocoa chrome around it. Mac users will see through
the BS in a heartbeat.
If you've got some old-school Mac friends, ask them about Word 6 to
get a first-hand view of a Mac user's reaction to a half-assed port
of a Windows app. Do you *seriously* want your users saying things
like that?
