I haven't tried it on Mac, but the difference can be only in XULRunner.
I propose creating a xulrunner feature and putting it on SVN. This 
feature could contain xulrunner plugins for all supported  OSes and the 
xpcom plugin.
Eclipse would load a corresponding plugin based on "Platform Filter" in 
the manifest file.
In this way, we would have one archive for all the OSes and wouldn't 
depend on the ATF/Mozilla plugins.
