Win->MacOS porting question.

Hello.
I am about to get involved in a project on porting a windows program into MacOS. The original program is written in C++ with limited use of windows-specific libraries, and its owner wants the code that will result from that project to be compilable both under Windows and MacOS (and, preferably, other platforms).
We both understand, that that cross-platform code will only be, in terms of the MVC model, the Model.
In that view I have two questions:
Is it a good idea to port a program that way? Or is it, perhaps, better to have platform-specific code for each system?
If it is a good idea, then how should we create a project in a repository so that it was usable both in Windows and in MacOS? Say, a framework for Mac and a dll for win?
Is there anything i need to know before starting that?


Thank you in advance,
Timofey.
