The interesting modules are the toolbox modules, and I'm not sure whether 
these are supported under non-carbon MacOSX. There are quite a few differences 
between the carbon and non-carbon programming model (think of pathnames, for 
instance).

But: why don't you try to take the MacPython source of an interesting module 
(AppleScript or QuickTime comes to mind) and try to get it to compile and run 
under MacOSX Python?
