The main reason is that the ns code can work under GNUstep.

At this point it seems like OS X and GNUstep are two different systems with a common ancestor in NeXTSTEP.

Adding the Mac Port to bzr would allow them to develop along with the system they target, at the same time as it makes it much easier to share code where it makes sense.
