I use gEDA on Mac OSX, it is great.
A base os that I don't have to configure, or worry about upgrades and such.
And all of the Unix goodness that I come to expect from a computer.

macports has earlier releases of gEDA, but I run from git head.  Using macports to install the dependencies.

As for dividing up the screen,  the window management is a different mind set, the maximize button is really "Make the window the optimal size" button.
When I want to have exact control of window sizes I use an application called divvy.  It has hot keys that I use to place windows where is want them.
