I think you've got this a little backwards.
The Mac port used to use Carbon, which is beyond it's end-of-life, or
is at least not seeing new feature development. The Mac port also uses
a lot of "NEXTstep" (Cocoa) code, which is still the current toolkit
for macOS and iOS, although it has another name on iOS and I can't
remember what it is.
The NS port is almost entirely "NEXTstep" (GNUstep and Cocoa,
specifically).
Apologies for misleading with my bad and/or out of date memory; Alan is certainly better informed than I am here.
This might be useful to anyone looking at the alternatives.
Thanks,
