I tried porting Nil once, which was the Linux version.

I never finished it.

If it's really old, maybe it'll play in one of those free x86 emulators, or most surely in VPC...
Be happy.

It's possible to play the game in the emulator DOSBox, though on the site for the emu, they mention this;

To play, Turn off the sound, and in the game options turn off the shadow and the Monitor Sync.

No, in DOSBox - http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/ - it's a cross-platform x86 emulator with DOS. There's a version available for OS X, if that's any help. ^^; (the site also lists what games are supported, and stuff like that)
