Good news: It looks like a) IEs4Linux 2.99.0 works better on Mac OS X, and b) soon there will be IEs4Mac.

I have spent a very long time trying to make this work today. And it doesn't work yet. Moreover, the current version of IEs4Linux in their Subversion repository has changed quite a bit, and does seem to work better than 2.99.0. We may just have to wait for version 3.0 before a portfile gets made. Though I should attach what I've got so far to this ticket.

I was working on a port for IEs4Linux but got stuck on something and forgot about it. I'll see if I can finish it up.
Note that Microsoft's legalese says you must own a copy of Windows in order to use IE, even if you're using IE through IEs4Linux.
