Cameron,  it might be possible to compile a version for Mac OS X 10.4, looking 
at the compatibility page, it looks like FPC 2.6.4 and Lazarus 1.2.6 can build 
for OS X 10.4.

Once this Gopher client has matured enough, and you have about an hour to 
spare, you can try installing Xcode and Lazarus onto OS X 10.4 and running the 
compile process.  There is only one Lazarus package needed other than the base 
Lazarus components and that is TurboPowerIPro which is used for the HTML 
widget.  Even if this isn't compatible with needed version of Lazarus, we 
could just replace it with a different widget.
