The Mac's keyboard editor is great, but I really like the idea of "an
input method toolkit" for the mac that would work with, say, CID

A bit off topic here, though relating to a previous query:

Fontlab Composer will be out for the mac in coming months.
BTW, my filter program has been quite busy deleting unicode mail subject
