So, this is probably not as important as I suspected.  After digging
around, it looks like the problem is that Ogre assumes you are going
to render into a Mac-native window, and not a X window.  The solution
would therefore be to get Ogre to use the GLX render system as opposed
to the OSX render system.  Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this is
a supported configuration on the Mac, but it's probably not that
difficult to do...  I've been hacking around with this, but if I find
it's too much trouble, I may just give up and leave it to the pros for
now :).
