Plugin~ compiles (Hans has it doing it somehow, I couldn't get it to work) but it doesn't actually work for me, just causes Pd to crash.  Also, the difference between OS X vsts and Win32 vsts is a factor here, from what I understand.  So unfortunately I don't think Mac OS X is doing too well right now as for plugins, but hopefully someone who knows C will be able to fix that?  There are many who would be very, *very* happy to be able to use ladspa plugins!

An option I haven't tried is dssi~ - you may want to look into that.

both tgrill's vst~ and plugin~ should work on OSX with trivial modifications. i suggest you just try compiling them, after collecting the requisite SDKs.
