Personally avoid GLUT. It isn't well designed for any serious
application development.
Use a simple Cocoa application shell to host your OpenGL engine or as
a secondary choice consider SDL (sorry not following this thread 100%
so I really don't have a clear picture of the application you are
trying to develop). Anyway you may get better assistance on the
Mac-Games-Dev list.
