Been done in the past.  Back in the CW 4 or 5 days or so Apple produced 
MrC plug-ins for CW.  No debug, but you could compile and link just 
fine.  I used this developing code for an embedded system that we 
control from MPW - develop code in CW native, when happy switch compiler 
and compare, when happy switch to MPW.

Being done now.  Leastways that's the impression that I get from the 
Metrowerks pages pages on embedded linux support, where they say they 
support the GNU compiler collection with the ability to integrate 
alternative GNU compilers, see for example 
<http://www.metrowerks.com/pdf/PPC_Linux.pdf>.
