That would be a large undertaking. Pretty much all the plugins are for Linux/UNIX specific apps. Sure, you can run them on MacOS, just as you can on Windows. It doesn't mean many people do.

    The hope, of course, is for an analogous set of instrumentation plug-ins for Mac OS X applications.

    What it suggests to me, of course, is that all applications, whether open or closed source, ought to have an extensibility API that specifically supports instrumentation to allow systems like Dashboard. (FWIW, Macromedia's Central explores some similar concepts in inter-application communication; unfortunately, it supports only Flash-based applications.)
