I've been referring Audacity's code for Mac specific features.  
Audacity is rather Mac-centric in a way.
You can find much more UNIX-like examples of wxMac application too,  
for instance Boinc and aMule use wx too. Also the wxWidgets samples  
should compile right away. Making .app package from a compiled Mach-o  
binary is rather a trivial task you can even do with Finder and a  
text editor.

As to the .rsrc files, wxMac 2.5.2 or so removed the dependancy to  
it; you don't need to worry anout it anymore. If you take a look at  
what Xcode project does when it compiles hugin, you can see what  
actually XCode does using command line tools.
