There isn't a reason you can't use Cocoa code in an otherwise Carbon 
application on Mac OS X, so the Cocoa-based SDL should work fine.

That being said, the Mac OS 9 codebase can (mostly?) work on OS X as a 
Carbonized library...but I don't see a good reason to use it. Even if 
you want a "Carbonized" application (one that works on both OS 9 and OS 
X), we're probably at the point where it's worth shipping two packages. 
Since you can't use Mach-O for those, it means you still need to have a 
CFM PowerPC build for OS 9 and PowerPC Mac OS X, and a separate Mach-O 
Intel package for newer machines.
