No.  You are referring to the NS port.  The Mac port is not a modified
version of the NS port, but a different GUI implementation on macOS.
They have different designs, policies, and histories.

NS port-specific Obj-C files and LOC (as of Emacs 26.3):

    1514 nsfont.m
     197 nsgui.h
     513 nsimage.m
    1893 nsmenu.m
     511 nsselect.m
    1323 nsterm.h
    9460 nsterm.m
   18754 total

Mac port-specific C/Obj-C files and LOC (as of Emacs 26.3 Mac 7.8):

    3237 mac.c
    1436 macappkit.h
   17097 macappkit.m
    5434 macfns.c
     279 macgui.h
     896 macmenu.c
    1141 macselect.c
    6326 macterm.c
     793 macterm.h
   36639 total
