[barana .]

sdl... yes good route.. the amiga os4 fellas will probably do a port if you use this library as it is running on AmigaOS 4.1.6+

Having being a sysadmin for living I absolutely *hate* anything Java-related... but I agree that in this gopher market situation :D it's probably the best bet (SDL/C being the other possibility but with absolutely no native controls).
I can help with converting the Java shi^W app to a proper Mac .app bundle (icon in Dock etc). Macs are happy if you just have a bigg'ish app icon like 128x128, rest of the bundle is just a dir and a couple of metadata files.

I use Linux both at home(Debian) and at work(RHEL6).  My work actively uses Java for our Web development, so the JDK is naturally already installed.  I currently use OverbiteFF on my desktop systems to browse and search gopherspace.
