Not really it's all about the sales to development time ratio. Apple game sales are insignificant to PC sales so much so that it's really hardly worth there time porting them. That's why there are 3rd party porters like MacAlly that make their money contracting to do the porting. I don't remember the exact numbers but it seems to me that it's something like for every 1 Mac game sold there are 10,000 of the same game sold on the PC.
