You might be interested in "Avant Window Navigator". I've seen it  
configured on some desktops to look exactly like the Mac OS X dock  
bar. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if it has the capability to launch  
applications like in OS X (Yet), but it certainly displays your open  
windows.

In terms of the OS X menu bar, aquila_deus wrote a patch for GTK that  
allows you to place the "File, Edit, Tools" toolbar as an applet on  
the panel. You can find some information about it here.

Lastly, if you're using Beryl/Compiz, you'll be able to duplicate  
"Expose" for arranging Windows. With the write GTK/Emerald/Metacity  
theme, you'd certainly have a Mac OS X look-a-like

Have fun
