I think you'll have no problem with the main Console jars.  I think I've 
been able to at least launch the Console up on OS X a long time ago, but 
things have changed with the Console since then, so it might just be 
easier now.  You can likely just copy the jars over from a Linux system.

In order to use any feature which requires crypto (SSL, importing 
certificates, etc.) in the Console,  you will need to build JSS, which 
has a JNI library.  It will require you to compile NSS and NSPR as 
well.  All of these components have been ported to OS X previously, so 
it should be quite doable.
