  <p>That having been said, I haven't used it.

Answers.Text: Yes, I know the OP said "native" but I suspect I and @grgarside have different definitions of the word "native". To me "native" means "not in an emulator or other virtual machine." And XBoard meets that definition, because X11 apps run right alongside other OS X apps in the same machine, without either virtualization or emulation.

  Winboard is what can run in wine. Though macwine is limited to 32bit executables. Xboard on the other hand always could be compiled in OSX just fine! I created an .app package ready for use and I'm told works fine in 10.10-10.6
  
  It is a GTK2 app running through Quartz, so no X11 server app is needed.
