In short the answer is no. There are 3 different developers involved in Halo, Bungie, Gearbox, and Macsoft. We all know the game belongs to Bungie but they didn't do the PC or Mac porting. This is where GearBox and MacSoft came in. CE was released by Gearbox on the PC side, so the code would have to come from them and go to MacSoft. I see 3 problems
1)Macsoft would have to be willing to work for free to port CE
2)GearBox would have to hand over the code to CE and help MacSoft for free
3)CE has not been widely accepted because of a few shortcommings which have slim chances of being remedied. The wording goes along these lines 'If 1000 people play during peak hours Gearbox will release a patch'. Trouble is that the patch is needed to keep people from leaving in disgust after a few minutes of CE.
In a more perfect world Halo CE would have superceeded Halo PC/Mac and we would all have benifited.
