Is there a way to use a CFSocket as a replacement for a SOCKET in WIn32 code?

No.

I have some existing Win32 winsock code I woul like to port to OS X.

CF has a bunch of code to deal with Windows due to its heritage (this feature isn't supported by Apple, but it's clearly visible in the Darwin source). However, the code is for /implementing/ CF on top of Windows, not for implementing Windows on top of CF. Thus, CFSocket will not help you port WinSock code to Mac OS X.


OTOH, if you wanted to port some CFSocket code /to/ Windows, you might be able to do it by using the Darwin code (subject to the APSL, of course).
