Lightspeed C v. 2.01 supports Macintalk with a library and header file.
Thanks to some pointers from Dave Bursik (db@cbosgd.UUCP) and 
Tom Speeter (vax135!ths@clyde.UUCP) I was able to get a very simple
program working under Lightspeed C that uses Macintalk. I used
Simpletools to define the user interface and main event loop, but
you can use any technique you want for this. The main ideas are from
an article by Bob Perez in MacUser, March 1986, pp. 104-110 (his
program is in Aztec C). Tom's article should be consulted for further
information.
