Certainly not. Q2 still has a fairly large community, including competitions, leagues, mods and all sorts. I have a medically certified addiction to q2, so i should know

Mac OS X? (Score:1)
No. Quartz/Aqua != X11 (Score:1)
Can this be easily ported to Mac OS X? I have no idea about the technical aspects of that, but I see it will run on BSDs
No. Mac OS X and FreeBSD use completely different GUI architectures. Mac OS X uses Quartz/Aqua, whereas FreeBSD uses X11/KDE. Unless you can get rootless X on top of Aqua and you can make amor md2 run in rootless X, the answer is no.
Yes! (Score:2)
Unless you can get rootless X on top of Aqua and you can make amor md2 run in rootless X, the answer is no.
True, but you can run rootless X alongside Aqua and they coexist quite peacefully. Heck, I'm doing it right now. I don't know about porting amor md2, but since OS X is an honest-to-god BSD it shouldn't be that hard. One of OS X's big selling points is the easy porting of *nix software.
If you're interested in running X11 apps on OS X, check out the XDarwin project [xdarwin.org]. Here's some screenshots [xdarwin.org]. Very cool stuff.
