There used to be, and there may be again, but I don't think there is right now.

However, ChunkVNC is "just" UltraVNC, which is "just" VNC, so if you can find a Mac VNC client that will work with an UltraVNC-style repeater (I think SSVNC is one) then you can probably get it to work.

And how about the handling with the IDs?

That's part and parcel of the repeater support requirement. The repeater (in mode II I think) pairs matching repeater IDs for clients and servers.

The more difficult part would be encryption -- in older versions of ChunkVNC there were reserved repeater ID numbers that had encryption turned off, specifically in order to support the experimental Mac portion. (This used x11vnc I think.)

I never put together a Mac Viewer but I believe some users had luck with the SSVNC Viewer.
B is correct, in the past ID's below 200000 would cause ChunkViewer to connect without encryption.

Lots of interest in Mac support lately... :)

True, I'm a little surprised there isn't more iOS demand... and hardly a peep about Android. :(

Not a big Jobs fan (nearly the contrary), but apparently he was the only technologist who could ever get anything done. That said, the Nook Color is fun (and trivial) to hack into a real tablet. (Stay away from the locked and reduced function Kindle Fire for now; no word yet on hackability.) And sorry for the tangent.
