Have you looked at Xconq's SDL implementation lately? It runs on at least 
UNIX and Mac.

Great! Things like this gives games the certain feeling of Commercial 
Quality(TM). Unfortunately the city view in Civ2 was just eye candy, as 
opposed to the station view in Railroad Tycoon II Second Century (Demo by 
Loki), which is more integrated in the game. You buy station improvements at 
the station view and you open the station view to see which station 
improvements you have, as opposed to looking at a list, like in Civ.
