I don't see why not provided you are able to compile PHP. As long as you can compile PHP your extension "should" compile into a Mac native binary. All you should need to do is create wrapper functions around your current library to make them accessible via PHP in your extension. If you're like me you will compile this directly into the PHP binary itself, and then I don't think you will need any other binaries. Alternatively, since you are comparing this to window's DLLs I think you can compile as a shared library, but I don't know much about that route and wouldn't advise it since as far as I know it runs like CGI.
