I think some clarification needs to be made. Inkscape can still be made much more usable on OSX without going fully "native".

It doesn't require porting to Cocoa, which would be a huge task. I believe what GIMP has done is change the dependency from the X11 version of GTK, to GTK+OSX which draws GTK components on OSX without X11.

The other thing they did was change most of the commands from Ctrl-{key} to Command-{key}.

This would be a much smaller task, but provide a very large benefit. Perhaps someone in the Inkscape development community could reach out to someone in GIMP to help speed this along?
