It would be pretty straightforward to get working on LDC/OS X 
– basically just go through our (well, Martin did most of the work) 
implementation for Linux and adapt it, using the dyld source code for 
reference [1]. I don't think anybody is working on it right now, though 
(Dan, maybe?).

For DMD, you are going to need the help of a person who is willing to 
deal with the backend part of the TLS implementation first. You can the 
use the same solution as for LDC.

[1] You might need to use some "private" functions to get the 
enumeration of sections working in a way that does not lead to a crash 
when the shared library is unloaded.
