I use gEDA on Mac OSX, it is great. A base os that I don't have to configure, or worry about upgrades and such. And all of the Unix goodness that I come to expect from a computer. macports has earlier releases of gEDA, but I run from git head. Using macports to install the dependencies. As for dividing up the screen, the window management is a different mind set, the maximize button is really "Make the window the optimal size" button. When I want to have exact control of window sizes I use an application called divvy. It has hot keys that I use to place windows where is want them.
