Shortly after a new shiny Intel MacBook lands on my desk.  The 15"
model is however too heavy for my taste; I'm tempted to wait for a
smaller, lighter model.

Based on the PowerPC/MacOSX and PowerPC/Linux ports, I'd expect the
changes to the x86 code generator to be small.  If someone has an
Intel Mac and is willing to run a test for me (basically, compile a C
file of mine to assembler and mail me the generated assembly), that
would help planning the porting work.
