Been discussed a few times, it's quite difficult. Basically you have to write the screensaver in XCode and use their `framework` API, write the code in objective c, and then compile it in XCode. We could not really figure out how to get BlitzMax involved even a little bit, otherwise I would've churned out many a screensaver by now. It's nowhere near as easy as renaming an exe on the PC, although that's not all there is to it. It's hard to get the windows preview working properly too.
