Yes. Robert Pelak has done a wonderful Mac-savvy port (i.e. with menu
options instead of command-line, etc.), and I'm told that being
multi-taskable is the next priority--in any case, it's a nice port.
It's on ftp.gmd.de in if-archive/compilers/inform, I think... obviously,
make sure to get the one for your computer (68K or PowerMac).

Last I heard, it was still active, and certainly enough people around
here use it, but I don't so I couldn't tell you.
