No, but I managed to run RPCEmu 0.8.12 for Windows under WINE on OS X. It
worked surprisingly well - though I didn't try things like networking. It
handles Retina modes which the 0.8.9 native doesn't.
I installed WINE using Homebrew as that's what I have to hand.
I had a 5-minute play with trying to make an OS X package using Wine
Bottler or WineSkin:

but I didn't quite succeed in the time I had available. It should be
achievable though.
I also had a look into porting RPCEmu to the newer Allegro 5 which is
supported - there's lots of function name changes which are straightforward,
but the graphics architecture is quite different so that would make it
awkward.
