Hi, I'm not the best person to answer you (don't have a Mac), but this should be better than nothing.
"1. Is it possible to port an existing winform application to OSX?" Yes. Although WinForms support in Mono isn't good on OSX. But then again, maybe you'd like to help and patch it. "2. If so would WebService, WebBrowser and other native Windows items cause a problem?" WebService should be OK, but WebBrowser is not supported on Mac. "3. Is there a step by step guide available?" Not that I know of, but feel free to ask about specific issues on the mailing list. As for the exception you're getting, I'm not sure. I know some of the latest Mono versions were not packaged properly for Mac (something about GDI+ being compiled for 64-bit rather than 32-bit, or something). Maybe try an older Mono version, or look around for solutions for this issue.
