If you consider a set of abstract widgets, reasonable enough, you could map them
to native implementations in

-a browser
-cocoa
-gnome
-add your one here.

then, there could be a portable shared component speaking to those and 
gatewaying
to your favorite protocol (9p, ix), and you could have a clean interface and
reasonable bindings for it.

cocoa was going to be my first move here, btw.
didn't even start, though.
