You can have a look at darling <https://www.darlinghq.org/> which aim to provide the macos(x) equivalent to wine (so, no kernel bits?), but given how I'm currently struggling with wine on FreeBSD, I would not bet this will work without some porting.

(Note that lots of parts of macos are closed source (frameworks, and aqua), so unlike linux, you can't just grab their libraries like that, and there's the problem of the display)
