Fixed the compiler errors. The Mac OS X Listboxes are created!... but don't show any items. Let's figure out why.

 NSUInteger is listed as being in <objc/NSObjCRuntime.h>... which doesn't exist. Rather than relying on undocumented header file locations or explicitly typedef-ing NSUInteger to the (documented) unsigned long, I'll just place things here for maximum safety. I use uintptr_t as that should encompass every possible unsigned long.

 This is a doozy: it deals with a NSUInteger array needed for this one selector, and converts them all into a uintptr_t array so we can use it from Go. The two arrays are created at runtime with malloc(); only the NSUInteger one is freed here, while Go frees the returned one. It's not optimal.
