John,

Sorry for the late response.  I don't do a lot of looking at this list anymore. 
 Eclipse is written by IBM so there is a bit more of a chance that it is 
accessible.  It is written in java, however.  You should be able to download it 
from developerworks within the IBM site.

Eclipse is a framework for building development environments and has several 
plug-ins.  My direct experience was with the NetCool mib2rules system that 
could parse an SNMP MIB and produce rules files used to create NetCool alarms.  
I used it on windows, but there was also a linux installer.  With Windows even 
when I dropped the access bridge into the special JRE directory I was not able 
to get the installer to work.  However the system worked with a few flukes once 
installed.  Considering the Macintoshes better handling of interacting with 
regions of the screen and the fact that IBM used SWING to develop the UI you 
might have some luck with this.

You might want to also ask one of the Macintosh blind friendly developers list.
