For now the easiest way to make a GUI on macos x in caml is labltk. The
other option is Lablgtk, but you have to run lablgtk applications in the X11
server until GTK is ported to use mac-native widgets.
As for coding caml on macs, it's great. I use aquamacs emacs with the tuareg
mode installed. I'd rather code on a desktop but if you want a small laptop,
a mac is great.
Installing ocaml on macos:
install macports
open terminal
sudo port install ocaml +labltk
(ifyou need lablgtk2)
sudo port install lablgtk2
Macport's version of tk doesn't give native widgets (whereas the built-in
distribution does), so then I do
sudo port -f uninstall tk
sudo port -f uninstall tcl
And if you don't like the mac keyboard's placement of the alt key, the
keyboard control panel lets you swap the alt and apple keys.

actually there's a MacOS X backend since GTK+ 2.10 (it's labeled
"experimental" though).
