Not currently.

bsd.pkg.mk doesn't know about MacOS X.  The necessary changes shouldn't be
to difficult.

I'd say you should start with hacking bsd.pkg.mk to support MacOS X and
then try to get the stuff in pkgtools to work.  After that, try building
packages and fix them as you encounter problems.

Please send-pr the changes so we can integrate them.
