No. Someone worked on a port of the game for a while but dropped it eventually.

MacPlay announced a Mac port of EAW.

It was cancelled.

From what I could gather, the problem was the time and effort needed to re-eng all the DirectPlay and DirectX stuff Taldren used. None of those MS libraries had Mac ports.

By the time it would have been done, there would have been little time left on the license deal to make any decent sales.
Or so I heard....
