No, there's no workaround.  It looks like OzTeX will keep working
on Mac OS X as long as Apple provide Rosetta, but I can't see
that lasting for too much longer.

As for development, I don't have a machine that can build OzTeX.
My old G4 died a few months ago, and Intel Macs don't run Classic
(and Apple have refused to Carbonize MPW).  The only way for OzTeX
to have a long-term future would be to completely re-write it in
C/C++ and there's very little chance of that happening.
