I've been doing some of that myself and the universal answer thus far has been for my friend on mac to use BGtutu and WINE. We've yet to test this as my new copy of the game has yet to arrive, but I'll be sure to inform everyone of our progress when we do. If we get it to work I'll do my best to make a walkthrough of our process so others can cross-platform this awesome game.

So far our plan is for me to install the game, make a BG Trilogy version of it, install any mods we want to have, then I rar the folder up and toss it her way. She installs it via WINE and we follow these instructions on getting multiplayer to work. If those instructions fail we'll try a wireless LAN with hamachi, but I've heard that the hamachi method makes things much more difficult than they need to be.

If NWN can be played multiplayer with WINE then surely to goodness we can get BGs 1 & 2 to work.

I had a feeling this would be the case. If I could get details on what the problem was to begin with I could have more realistic expectations of what might fix it. This issue is surprisingly hard to google. It should be reasonable to assume that if she managed to get a PC version of the game running on, say, leopard or bootcamp it would work just fine. She's pretty unwilling to do this though as it's a huge amount of trouble on her part. Perhaps I'll look into ways of playing the mac version on the PC? That would require I find a torrent of the mac version though...hmmm...
