It really depends on the program.

The GUI-part is easily platform-dependent. (like Arena, xboard, winboard etc)
There are toolkits around, which are available for multiple platforms, but most
aren't.

The engine itself could easily be platform-independent, except for a small part.
(like multi-threading etc) Of course, as soon as you write something in Asm it
looks different, but if it's just a tiny part, that's easy to port too.
