Here's a first working draft for GLUT.Framework support. I'm not familiar with either lisp or opengl, so if you want me to improve the patch in any way, just tell me what you want and I'll modify it. Currently, the first obvious problem is that there's no way to choose between the freeglut library or the native one (GLUT.Framework). So, how do you want to manage the future patches I'll send? Do you want to store a branch somewhere?
BTW, I want to thanks "esden": http://www.esden.net/blog/
From which I took most of the changes:

I borrowed a Mac mini for a few minutes (yay clbuild!) and tried your patch. Things seemed to work though closing a window didn't return me to the REPL. (I tried the gears example.)
Also, I don't think this patch will work as is on e.g. Clozure CL since the event loop needs to run on the initial thread. glut/interface.lisp has some commented out code at the end to do just that.

I wouldn't worry much about that for now. I don't think OSX users want to deal with X11 or FreeGLUT at all.
So, how do you want to manage the future patches I'll send?
Diffs are fine, thanks.
