There has been work done in Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories.
SISAL (single-assignment) language has a good X-Window based environment
called SISAL-City. Furthermore at ETH, Zuerich in my group we have
(apart from putting the SISAL compiler on Mac) also implemented a 
fast/interactive graph-display around the language SISAL and hope to 
finish the complete environment (debugger/interpreter etc.) in the
second half of this year. At last we have developped the MFL (modular
functional language) which from the beginning has been embedded
in an window based object-oreinted framework (MacApp).

If anybody wants to know more, feel free to contact me.
