That'd be kinda hard.  The Mac's file system is totally different from the ST's.
Besides, I just backed up and restored my hard drive with DiskFit 1.4 (1.5 
should get here tomorrow; ordered it from Mac Zone 1-800-248-0800 for $61 total)
It isn't quite as fast as Turtle (and, quite frankly, it wouldn't work on my
Mega 2 - what else is new? - because it kept turning my HFS disks into MFS ones)
but it does work.

Don't get me wrong; I would love a Turtle GCR too, but it won't be the same
Turtle we all know and love due to major differences.  Unless of course Mr.
Woodside pulls off another miracle.
